What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several factors can influence the cost of insurance premiums for a Cicis restaurant. These factors include the specific insurance provider the franchisee chooses, the restaurant's location, the value of the equipment and improvements made to the location, and the franchisee's claims history.
For a prospective Cicis franchisee, this means that insurance costs can vary significantly. Selecting an insurer, the location of the restaurant, and maintaining a good claims history are all areas where a franchisee can potentially influence their insurance expenses. The FDD estimates initial insurance costs to be between $500 and $2,000 for a Cicis Buffet Restaurant and between $375 and $2,000 for a Cicis To Go Restaurant for the first three months.
It is important for franchisees to obtain the insurance coverage as described in the Franchise Agreement. Understanding these factors and proactively managing them can help a Cicis franchisee control their insurance costs and maintain adequate coverage for their business.
