What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 9 details the franchisee's obligations, including site selection and acquisition/lease. Specifically, the Franchise Agreement's Section 1.B and the Area Development Agreement's Section 2.D outline these obligations.
For a prospective Cicis franchisee, this means that the responsibilities for finding and securing a suitable location are clearly defined within these sections of the agreements. Section 1.B of the Franchise Agreement likely covers the specific requirements and procedures for site selection once a franchise agreement is in place for a single location. For franchisees pursuing area development, Section 2.D of the Area Development Agreement would outline the process for proposing and securing sites for multiple Cicis restaurants within their designated area.
It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review these sections to understand the criteria Cicis uses for site approval, the timeline for securing a site, and any obligations related to lease negotiations. Understanding these obligations is crucial for budgeting time and resources during the initial phase of setting up a Cicis restaurant.
