Free-pizza offers today at CiCi’s grand reopening

The reopening of the CiCi’s Pizza restaurant at 7631 Old Troy Pike, in Waynetown Plaza in Huber Heights that we told you about a few weeks back is scheduled for today, Monday, March 29, and the restaurant will mark the occasion with some giveaways.

CiCi’s Pizza spokeswoman Mele Telitz said in a press release that the first 100 guests in line on opening day will receive “free pizza for a year,” although I believe the offer calls for the winners to receive certificates good for one free pizza buffet per month for a year. “Also, residents of Dayton should be on the lookout for a ‘dropped’ wallet with a free buffet offer inside — more than 30 dozen can be found throughout the area,” Telitz said.

Some customers had already begun camping out outside the restaurant by 10 p.m. Sunday night, March 28, according to Frank Palmer, manager of the restaurant.

Suresh Balachandran of Centerville, the operating partner for the restaurant near Ohio 202 and I-70, said in the release that CiCi’s “is eager to bring 25 years of success in the fast casual segment and pizza industry back to the Dayton community.”

The new CiCi’s franchise is operated by RBK Partners LLC, which has no connection with the previous owners of Dayton-area CiCi’s locations, Marwin Management. Four Dayton-area CiCi’s, including the Huber Heights location, closed abruptly last May in an action that surprised both customers and many employees.

The 5,000-square-foot restaurant will seat 180 and will open with about 50 employees, restaurant manager Palmer said.

There are no current plans on opening any of the other three CiCi’s that closed last year, although if the Huber Heights restaurant is successful, franchise owners will look for a good location to open a second restaurant “from the ground up,” Palmer said.

Although the CiCi’s news release didn’t mention an opening time today, Palmer said two weeks ago that the restaurant would open at 11 a.m. on its grand reopening day.

Texas-based CiCi’s, which was founded in 1985, operates 650 restaurants in 33 states. For more information, call the Huber Heights CiCi’s at 937-236-2424.
