What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must submit a report of their business activities within 10 days after the end of each month during the term of their agreement. This report should include information about efforts to find sites for restaurants in the Development Area, as well as the status of development and projected opening dates for each restaurant under development in the Development Area.

In addition to the monthly report, Cicis also requires franchisees to provide a balance sheet and profit and loss statement within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. This quarterly report should cover both the quarter and the year-to-date performance. Franchisees must also provide an updated balance sheet for each person or entity signing the Guaranty.

Failure to submit the required information or reports may result in Cicis assessing a reasonable data collection fee. Cicis will provide written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the failure, which need not exceed 10 days. The assessment and collection of this fee is in addition to any other rights and remedies Cicis may have.
