- In November, the Company awarded franchise area development rights to a multi-concept franchise system operator, based in Phoenix, Arizona, providing for a minimum of 18 U-SWIRL cafes to be opened in the Phoenix market over the next five years.
- Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company signed an Area Development Agreement with RMR Group, LLC to develop a minimum of three U-SWIRL Frozen Yogurt cafes on the Jersey Shore in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
