What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee is reduced to $0 under the Franchise Agreements executed pursuant to the Veteran's Incentive Program. This means that eligible veterans who qualify for this program will not have to pay the standard initial franchise fee to open a Cicis restaurant.
This incentive can significantly lower the initial investment for veterans looking to start a Cicis franchise. The standard initial franchise fee is $30,000, so this represents a substantial savings.
It is important for prospective franchisees to carefully review the requirements and conditions of the Veteran's Incentive Program to ensure they qualify. Further details about the program can be found in Item 5 of the FDD.
