What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Marble Slab Creamery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees or their employees may be required to attend additional training programs. Marble Slab Creamery will provide additional training for the franchisee, their manager, operating partner, assistant managers, shift leaders, or other employees, as deemed appropriate. These additional training programs also include quarterly training and status meetings.

If Marble Slab Creamery believes additional training programs are necessary, the franchisee or their employees must attend. The franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Marble Slab Creamery for the costs of training any new manager, new assistant manager, or shift leader they employ, up to a maximum of $500 per week for each individual.

While Marble Slab Creamery provides instructors and most instructional materials for additional training, the franchisee or their employees must cover all costs associated with transportation, lodging, food, and wages. This means that franchisees should budget not only for the direct training fees but also for these additional expenses when sending staff for further training.
