What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cicis Franchise Disclosure Document, the Reopen Incentive Program Addendum stipulates that a franchisee must complete the Refresh Obligations and reopen the restaurant for regular business by the Reopening Deadline. This deadline is specified on Attachment A of the addendum, which is not included in the provided documentation.
This means that the exact date by which the restaurant must be reopened is not standardized but rather is determined on a case-by-case basis and documented in the attachment. The franchisee is responsible for covering all expenses related to remodeling and refreshing the restaurant to meet Cicis's standards before reopening.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Attachment A of the Reopen Incentive Program Addendum within their specific Franchise Agreement to understand their individual Reopening Deadline. They should also inquire about the factors that influence the setting of this deadline and any potential for extensions, as failure to meet the deadline could impact their agreement.
