What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Marble Slab Creamery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, remedial expenses are due 'on demand.' These expenses are incurred when Marble Slab Creamery corrects operational deficiencies that they have identified during a site inspection, and that the franchisee has failed to correct within a reasonable time after receiving notice from Marble Slab Creamery.
These remedial expenses cover Marble Slab Creamery's reasonable costs to rectify the franchisee's operational shortcomings, but the cost will not exceed $10,000 per deficiency. This means that if a franchisee fails to maintain the standards required by Marble Slab Creamery, they could face significant costs in addition to the initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties.
This 'on demand' payment term means Marble Slab Creamery can request immediate payment for these expenses. Franchisees should ensure they have sufficient capital to cover such unexpected costs and maintain operational standards to avoid incurring these fees. It is also important for prospective franchisees to understand what Marble Slab Creamery considers a deficiency and what the process is for addressing and correcting these issues.
