How many company-owned Cicis Buffet Restaurants opened in Alabama during 2023?

According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the provided tables summarizing outlet information do not contain specific details about restaurant openings on a state-by-state basis. While the tables provide an overview of the total number of company-owned Cicis Buffet Restaurants and franchised locations that opened, closed, or transferred during the reported years, there is no breakdown by state. The tables present data for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024, showing the net change in the number of restaurants, but this is system-wide and not specific to Alabama.

For example, the excerpt includes a table summarizing system-wide outlet changes for Cicis Buffet Restaurants, showing the number of franchised and company-owned restaurants at the start and end of each year, as well as the net change. However, this information is aggregated across all locations and does not specify how many company-owned restaurants opened in Alabama or any other particular state. Similarly, there are tables detailing the status of franchised outlets and transfers of outlets, but these also lack state-specific data.
