What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Cream franchisees are permitted to install a standard sign approved by the franchisor on any pylon, monument, or directory sign for the development where their premises are located. The landlord must allow the tenant to use Cream's standard interior and exterior signage and designs, provided it is permitted by local governmental authorities.
This means that as a prospective Cream franchisee, you will likely be able to display Cream's signage on existing signage structures at your location, subject to approval by Cream and local regulations. The franchisee is responsible for the costs associated with the sign.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand and comply with all local regulations regarding signage, as well as Cream's standards for signage design and placement. Franchisees should also confirm with the landlord the specific requirements and limitations for signage at their location.
