What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are reopening a previously closed Cicis restaurant, you must complete the required remodeling and refreshing actions, termed the "Refresh Obligations," and reopen the restaurant for regular business by the Reopening Deadline. This deadline is specified on Attachment A of the Franchise Agreement.
Attachment A will outline the specific actions needed to remodel and refresh the restaurant to meet Cicis's current standards. These Refresh Obligations are at the franchisee's expense. Failing to meet the Reopening Deadline could result in consequences, although the document does not explicitly state what those consequences might be.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Attachment A of the Franchise Agreement to understand the full scope of the Refresh Obligations and the Reopening Deadline. Understanding these requirements is crucial for budgeting and planning the reopening of a previously closed Cicis restaurant.
