What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of franchise transfers in 2024 was 9. This figure is derived from Table No. 2A, which tracks transfers of Cicis Buffet Restaurants, and Table No. 2B, which tracks transfers of Cicis To Go Restaurants.
Specifically, the data shows the number of transfers from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers back to Cicis itself. The transfers are broken down by state, providing a detailed view of franchise activity across different regions. In 2024, there were transfers in Alabama (1), Florida (2), Georgia (1), Texas (3), and Virginia (2), totaling 9 transfers for Cicis Buffet Restaurants. There were no transfers for Cicis To Go Restaurants in 2024.
This information is valuable for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the resale activity within the Cicis franchise system. A higher number of transfers could indicate a more active market for existing franchises, while a lower number might suggest greater stability among franchisees. It is important to note that transfers do not necessarily indicate the financial health or success of the franchise, but rather a change in ownership.
