What is a Marble Slab Creamery franchisee prohibited from doing regarding sublicensing or management agreements?

Based on the 2025 Marble Slab Creamery Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee's ability to sublicense or enter into management agreements is not explicitly detailed. However, the document does state that if a franchisee accepts the right to develop at a Non-Traditional Venue/Excluded Venue, the franchisee will be required to sign a sublicense agreement without the ability to negotiate any changes with the Host/Authority. The franchisee must comply with all terms, including the payment of all license fees, construction-related fees, and other fees imposed by the Host/Authority.

Without more specific information, it is unclear whether a franchisee can independently sublicense their franchise or enter into management agreements with third parties. The FDD excerpts focus more on the obligations and restrictions related to operating the Marble Slab Creamery restaurant and using the brand's intellectual property.

A prospective Marble Slab Creamery franchisee should directly ask the franchisor about the possibility of sublicensing or using management agreements. Clarification from the franchisor is needed to fully understand the franchisee's rights and limitations in this area.
