The chain currently has about 300 locations across 26 states.

The restaurant relies heavily on their dining rooms.

Unlike other pizza companies, Cici’s struggled making delivery a viable option due to its buffet style dining model.

Regulations limiting in-person dining have impacted the company’s bottom line.

Cici’s has between 50 to 100 million in liabilities.

The chain came to an agreement in December for its primary lender, D&G investors, to purchase the company and its $82 million in debt.
