What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Marble Slab Creamery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no company-owned Marble Slab Creamery outlets closed in 2022. The FDD provides a table outlining outlet data from 2022 to 2024.
Specifically, the table shows that at the start of 2022, there were zero company-owned outlets. Throughout 2022, zero outlets were opened, reacquired from franchisees, or sold to franchisees. The number of outlets closed was also zero, resulting in zero company-owned outlets at the end of 2022.
This indicates that Marble Slab Creamery primarily operates through franchised locations rather than company-owned stores. Prospective franchisees should be aware of this business model, as it means they will not be competing with company-owned locations and that the franchisor may have less direct experience operating outlets.
