What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Marble Slab Creamery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you sign a Multi-Unit Restaurant Agreement, Marble Slab Creamery will provide you with two copies of their then-current Franchise Agreement, along with their franchise disclosure document, if required under applicable law. This is conditional on you satisfying all conditions specified in the Multi-Unit Restaurant Agreement and following Marble Slab Creamery's acceptance of a site.
This means that a standard single-unit franchisee will not receive a copy of the Franchise Agreement until after Marble Slab Creamery approves the proposed site. However, those entering into a Multi-Unit Restaurant Agreement will receive two copies of the Franchise Agreement after meeting specific conditions, including site acceptance.
This is a notable difference in document release timing based on the type of agreement signed. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the Multi-Unit Restaurant Agreement to understand all conditions that must be met to receive the Franchise Agreement copies. It is also important to note that the franchise disclosure document will be provided if required by law.
