What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Marble Slab Creamery FDD, Marble Slab Creamery does not typically engage in paid endorsements from public figures. However, the document states that some franchisees may be public figures who promote their own stores and the Marble Slab Creamery brand in general.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that Marble Slab Creamery does not allocate funds to pay celebrities or public figures for endorsements at the corporate level. Any promotional activity involving a public figure would likely be initiated and funded by the franchisee themselves, if the franchisee happens to be a public figure.
It's important to note that while Marble Slab Creamery does not directly compensate public figures for promotion, individual franchisees who are public figures may choose to promote their own stores. These individuals do not receive compensation from Marble Slab Creamery for these promotional activities.
