What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero Cream outlets that ceased operations for reasons other than terminations or franchisor reacquisition in 2022, according to one table. The table provides a system-wide outlet summary for the years 2022 to 2024.
However, another table focusing on specific states also indicates zero closures in 2022. This table provides a detailed breakdown of outlet activity, including openings, closures, and transfers, for each state in which Cream operates.
It is important to note that one shop in Tennessee was temporarily closed for expansion and remodeling in 2022 but was not listed as a closure in the table because it re-opened in 2023. This highlights the importance of understanding the nuances behind the data presented in Item 20, as temporary closures may not always be reflected in the overall closure numbers.
