Does Marble Slab Creamery require public figures to disclose their ownership of a franchise?

According to the 2025 Marble Slab Creamery FDD, Marble Slab Creamery does not utilize public figures to actively promote its franchise opportunity. However, the document states that some existing Marble Slab Creamery franchises are owned by public figures. These public figures may promote their individual stores and the Marble Slab Creamery brand in general, but they do so without receiving any compensation from Marble Slab Creamery for their promotional efforts.

This indicates that while Marble Slab Creamery does not prohibit public figures from owning franchises, it also does not actively recruit or financially incentivize them to promote the brand. The FDD does not explicitly state whether public figures are required to disclose their ownership. However, Marble Slab Creamery requires franchisees which are corporations or limited liability companies to maintain a current list of all owners of record and all beneficial owners of any class of voting securities and furnish the list to Marble Slab Creamery upon request.

Prospective franchisees who are public figures should clarify with Marble Slab Creamery whether there are any specific disclosure requirements or expectations related to their public status and franchise ownership. This will help ensure compliance with Marble Slab Creamery's policies and avoid any potential misunderstandings regarding promotional activities or brand representation.
