What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 9 company-owned outlets in Tennessee at the start of 2022. The FDD also notes that one shop in Tennessee was temporarily closed for expansion and remodeling in 2022 but was not listed as a closure because it re-opened in 2023. At the end of 2022, there were still 9 company-owned Cream locations in Tennessee.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates Cream's existing presence and investment in the Tennessee market through company-owned stores. It could signify a proven market or potential competition from corporate locations. The temporary closure for remodeling suggests Cream is willing to invest in its existing locations to keep them updated.
It is important to note that while there were 9 stores at the beginning and end of 2022, one location was temporarily closed for remodeling during that year. This may have impacted sales at that location. The FDD does not specify how long the location was closed or the impact on revenue. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the performance of these company-owned stores and the details of the remodeling project to better understand the market dynamics in Tennessee.
