What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Marble Slab Creamery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero non-renewals of franchise agreements in Tennessee in 2022.
Table No. 3, which covers the status of franchised outlets for fiscal years 2022 to 2024, shows that in 2022, there were 13 Marble Slab Creamery outlets at the start of the year in Tennessee. During that year, zero outlets were terminated, zero were non-renewed, and zero closed for other reasons. One outlet was listed as 'reacquired', and at the end of 2022, there were 12 outlets in Tennessee.
This data indicates that while one Marble Slab Creamery location in Tennessee ceased to be a franchise in 2022, it was through a reacquisition by the company rather than a non-renewal of the franchise agreement. For a prospective franchisee, this distinction is important because non-renewals can reflect the franchisee's decision not to continue, whereas a reacquisition suggests a strategic decision by Marble Slab Creamery.
