What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, no Cicis restaurants opened in Arkansas during 2023. Table 3A, which details the status of franchised Cicis Buffet Restaurants, shows no outlets opening in Arkansas during that year. The table provides a breakdown of outlet activity by state, 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 outlets at the end of the year.
Specifically, for Arkansas in 2023, the table indicates the number of outlets at the start of the year was 3, and the number of outlets at the end of the year remained at 3, with zero restaurants opened. This suggests that the number of Cicis Buffet Restaurants remained constant in Arkansas throughout 2023.
Table 3B provides similar data for Cicis To Go restaurants, but it does not list Arkansas. Therefore, based on the available information in Item 20, there were no new Cicis Buffet or To Go restaurants opened in Arkansas during 2023.
