What was the median annual cost of Supplies for all Cream franchises?

According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the median annual cost of supplies for all Item 19 Shops was $55,506. The FDD specifies that supplies include the cost of paper goods, related packaging, cleaning supplies, and office supplies. This figure is based on the performance of a subset of Cream locations.

It's important to note that this median figure represents the midpoint of supply costs across all reporting Cream shops. This means that half of the shops had supply expenses greater than $55,506, while the other half had expenses less than this amount. The FDD indicates that 48 out of all Item 19 Shops (58%) had equal or lower supplies than the average annual supplies.

Prospective franchisees should consider this figure as a benchmark when projecting their own potential supply costs. However, actual expenses may vary depending on factors such as store size, sales volume, waste management practices, and local supply prices. It would be prudent to discuss supply chain management and cost control strategies with Cream's existing franchisees to gain further insights.
