What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Cicis does require that you have them review and approve any proposed modifications to the lease rider for your restaurant location. This is a pre-opening obligation that Cicis outlines in the FDD.
This means that before you can finalize the lease for your Cicis restaurant, you must submit any changes to the lease rider to Cicis for their approval. Cicis has the discretion to accept or reject these proposed modifications. This requirement ensures that the lease terms align with Cicis's standards and protect their brand and operational interests.
As a prospective franchisee, it is important to factor in the time it may take to get these modifications reviewed and approved by Cicis. Failure to obtain their approval could potentially delay the opening of your restaurant. You should communicate closely with Cicis during the lease negotiation process to ensure a smooth and timely approval.
