What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cicis Franchise Disclosure Document, a Cicis tenant has the right to choose their own contractor for the fabrication and installation of their signs. This provides the franchisee with the flexibility to select a contractor that meets their specific needs and budget, as long as the signs adhere to the specifications outlined in the lease agreement.
This arrangement is fairly common in the franchise industry, as it allows franchisees to manage costs and potentially leverage local relationships. However, franchisees must ensure that the chosen contractor is capable of meeting Cicis's brand standards and any local regulations.
It is important for prospective Cicis franchisees to carefully review the signage criteria attached to the lease to fully understand the requirements for the color, size, and other specifications of the signs. This will help ensure compliance and avoid any potential disputes with the landlord or franchisor.
