What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two Cicis outlets operating in Maryland at the beginning of 2022. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the status of franchised outlets, including the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year for each state.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is useful for understanding the historical presence and stability of Cicis in Maryland. Knowing the number of outlets at the start of the year provides a baseline, while the other columns indicate any changes that occurred during the year, such as openings, closures, or transfers of ownership. This can help a franchisee assess the market dynamics and potential for growth in the state.
It's important to note that the table provides data for specific years, allowing for a trend analysis. In the case of Maryland, the number of outlets remained constant at two from the start of 2022 through the end of 2024. This could indicate a stable market or limited growth opportunities, depending on other factors such as sales volume and customer demographics. A prospective franchisee should further investigate the reasons behind the lack of change in outlet numbers to make an informed decision.
