The company was founded in 1985, and started franchising by 1987.[3] In November 2015, the company began a new marketing campaign which included the renaming of the company to Cicis (by dropping the apostrophe, making the second "C" lowercase and dropping "pizza" from its name), and a redesigned logo and website.
