What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 6 Cicis Buffet Restaurants operating in Missouri at the end of 2024. This number remained constant from the end of 2023 to the end of 2024, with no openings, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, or other reasons for ceased operations during 2024. The number started at 7 in 2022, but decreased to 6 at the end of that year.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a stable presence for Cicis in Missouri during 2024. However, the lack of growth (no new openings) and a decrease from 2022 to 2023 might warrant further investigation into market conditions and franchise performance in that specific state. It would be prudent to understand why no new locations opened and what factors contributed to the single closure in 2022.
It is important to note that this data pertains specifically to Cicis Buffet Restaurants. The FDD also includes information on Cicis To Go Restaurants, but these are reported separately. A prospective franchisee should review the complete Item 20 tables to understand the overall dynamics of both Cicis concepts in Missouri and other states. Reviewing Exhibit E in the FDD, which lists the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of franchises and their outlets as of December 31, 2024, may also provide additional insight.
