How many company-owned Cicis Buffet Restaurants were operating in South Carolina at the end of 2024?

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document does not specify the number of company-owned Cicis Buffet Restaurants operating in South Carolina at the end of 2024. While the document includes tables detailing the status of both franchised and company-owned Cicis Buffet Restaurants and Cicis To Go Restaurants, it does not break down the number of restaurants by state.

A prospective franchisee interested in opening a Cicis in South Carolina should contact Cicis directly to obtain information about the number and location of company-owned stores. Understanding the distribution of corporate-owned locations could provide insights into Cicis's strategic focus and market penetration in specific regions.

Item 20 of the FDD includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of franchises and their outlets as of December 31, 2024, in Exhibit E. However, this exhibit is not included in the provided excerpts. Reviewing Exhibit E may provide some insight into the locations of Cicis restaurants, though it would not distinguish between franchised and company-owned locations.
