What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Marble Slab Creamery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must reimburse the company for additional travel expenses and wages if initial training is rescheduled. This reimbursement is due before the Marble Slab Creamery location opens. This payment is only required if the scheduled opening date is changed from the date previously established by Marble Slab Creamery.
This policy means that if a franchisee causes a delay in their opening date that necessitates rescheduling Marble Slab Creamery's training personnel, the franchisee will bear the financial responsibility for the resulting costs. These costs specifically cover Marble Slab Creamery's travel expenses and wages for their representatives.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this policy and ensure they have contingency plans in place to avoid delays in their opening date. Any changes to the opening timeline should be communicated promptly to Marble Slab Creamery to minimize potential rescheduling expenses. It is also important to clarify with Marble Slab Creamery what specific costs are included in "additional travel expenses and wages" to fully understand the potential financial impact of a rescheduled training.
