What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no franchised Cream outlets that ceased operations for 'other reasons' during the year 2022. The provided table specifically tracks the status of franchised outlets from 2022 to 2024, detailing openings, terminations, renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, and closures for 'other reasons'.
Specifically, the table shows that in 2022, there were zero terminations, zero non-renewals, zero re acquisitions by Cream, and zero closures for other reasons. This indicates that all franchised Cream locations remained operational or ceased operations due to the specific categories listed, with none closing for uncategorized reasons.
It is important to note that while the table indicates no closures for 'other reasons', a footnote mentions that one shop in Tennessee was temporarily closed for expansion and remodeling in 2022 but reopened in 2023. This closure was not listed in the table, as it was temporary and the shop resumed operations, highlighting a distinction between temporary disruptions and permanent closures.
