What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero Cicis Buffet Restaurants or Cicis To Go Restaurants sold to franchisees in 2023. This information is derived from a table summarizing system-wide outlet data.
The table provides a breakdown of outlet activity, including the number of outlets at the start and end of the year, as well as changes due to openings, closures, re acquisitions, and sales to franchisees. For 2023, the 'Outlets Sold to Franchisee' column shows a value of 0 for both Cicis Buffet Restaurants and Cicis To Go Restaurants.
This indicates that Cicis did not transfer any existing company-owned or franchised locations to new franchisees during that year. A prospective franchisee should consider this information in the context of Cicis's overall growth strategy and market dynamics. It may be beneficial to inquire with Cicis about the reasons for the lack of transfers and whether this is a typical pattern or an anomaly.
