We offer franchises for Cicis Restaurants and Cicis To Go Restaurants that operate under the Cicis System. The Cicis System includes exterior and interior design, decor, color scheme, and furnishings; special recipes and menu items; uniform standards for operations; quality and uniformity of products and services; procedures for inventory, management and financial control; training and assistance; and advertising and promotional programs. We may change any of these items in our discretion without notice. We offer Cicis Restaurant franchises and Cicis To Go Restaurant franchises to entities that meet our qualification requirements. The Franchise Agreement gives you the right to establish and operate either 1 Cicis Restaurant or 1 Cicis To Go Restaurant at a specified location. If your franchise is for a Cicis Restaurant, you will sign our Franchise Agreement. If your franchise is for a Cicis To Go Restaurant, you will sign the Franchise Agreement and the Cicis To Go Addendum to Franchise Agreement, which adapts certain terms of the Franchise Agreement for Cicis To Go Restaurants. Our current standard form of Franchise Agreement and Cicis To Go Addendum to Franchise Agreement are included in this disclosure document as Exhibits C and C-1. We also offer candidates the right to enter into a development agreement (“Development Agreement”) to develop one or more Cicis Restaurants or Cicis To Go Restaurants within a specifically described geographic territory (“Development Area”). If you wish to develop Cicis Restaurants, you must sign our Development Agreement. If you wish to develop Cicis To Go Restaurants, you must sign the Development Agreement and the Cicis To Go Addendum to our Development Agreement. Our current standard form of Development Agreement and the Cicis To Go Addendum to Development Agreement are included in this disclosure document as Exhibits B and B-1 respectively. Your development of Cicis To Go Restaurants will not satisfy any development obligations that you have for Cicis Restaurants and vice-versa. The entity executing the Development Agreement is the “Developer.” The Development Area will be determined before executing the Development Agreement and will be described in the Development Agreement. The size of the Development Area will vary depending upon local market conditions and the number of Locations to be developed. You must develop the number of Locations contemplated by the Development Agreement in the Development Area according to a development schedule and must enter into a separate Franchise Agreement for each Location that is established. The Franchise Agreement for each Location developed under a Development Agreement will be the form of Franchise Agreement that we are then offering to new franchisees, except that the initial franchise fees will be as provided in the Development Agreement. For a limited time, we are offering qualified Developers and franchisees various incentive programs. Our Development Incentive Program offers incentives to develop additional Cicis Restaurants. The Development Incentive Program does not apply to relocations, transfers, non-traditional development, Cicis To Go Restaurants, or any international development. This program is also limited to certain geographic markets. We also offer a Reopen Incentive Program, an Underperforming Restaurant Incentive Program, Reimage Incentive, New Restaurant Opening Incentive, and our Veteran’s Program. If you meet our qualifications and are approved to participate in one of these programs, you may qualify for reduced initial franchise fees, reduced royalty rates, and/or other incentives. We anticipate offering franchises for non-traditional locations, such as airports, colleges, universities, military, or other governmental facilities, offices or in-plant food service facilities, or within an existing “big box” retail site such as a shopping mall, supermarket, mass merchandiser, grocery store, or other fast-food type operations such as food courts and other venues operated by a master concessionaire or contract food service provider, or other large retail venues (“Non-Traditional Locations”). Franchises granted for Non-Traditional Locations will be established by the execution of a Franchise Agreement that is modified by an addendum reflecting the terms that apply to Non-Traditional Locations. We also anticipate offering franchises internationally. International agreements will differ from the agreements included in this disclosure document.

Summary of Investment Costs

Upfront Franchise Fees

Minimum: $213,777 Maximum: $271,996

Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.

These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.

While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.

Total Investment Costs

Minimum: $694,965 Maximum: $1,019,140

Ongoing Fees

Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.

These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.

Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
