According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the payments for the Décor Package are made to approved third-party suppliers. The Décor Package is estimated to cost between $2,000 and $10,000.
Cream requires franchisees to purchase the décor package from approved vendors before installation, with the exception of certain décor items that must be purchased from Parent. This package includes standard interior and exterior décor, including shipping costs.
Prospective franchisees should confirm with Cream a list of approved third-party suppliers for the Décor Package and understand the payment terms and conditions with these suppliers. It is also important to clarify which décor items must be purchased directly from Cream's Parent company and the associated costs.
