Cicis Reports Data Breach Cicis customers need to check their bank accounts. The Coppell, Texas-based brand has announced that malware in the Cicis Enterprise LP payment system may have compromised customer payment card information at more than 140 locations in 17 states. The investigation began in March of this year when some restaurants were reporting problems with their Point of Sale system. However, the data breach goes back to 2015. Local authorities have been notified, and the company has established a toll-free phone line to answer customer questions.

One sector possibly being affected by the social and political landscape is pizza. According to KeyBanc Analyst Chris O&#8217;Cull, Papa John&#8217;s International Inc. is poised to perform well as the country decides the next president of the United States of America. Papa Johns&#8217; stock has been upgraded to &#8220;overweight&#8221; from &#8220;sector weight.&#8221; The change is due to more consumers opting to stay in rather than dine out due to the political and social climate. With the election coverage going through November, he thinks the trend is here to stay through the final ballot.

Results from a Nomura survey indicate that franchisees noted that the new fresh beef patties will impact cooking speed, but it could potentially open the brand up to a food safety disaster due to the variability of food handling. While the safety issues are a concern, other franchisees see this move as a way to improve company perception and lead to other improvements.

This will be the 11th annual Miracle Treat Day event for the brand. For every Blizzard Treat sold on July 28, participating DQ Grill &amp; Chill and Dairy Queen locations will donate $1 to the Children&#8217;s Miracle Network Hospitals. Last year Dairy Queen raised more than $5 million on Miracle Treat Day for CMN Hospitals. The company is encouraging fans to post a selfie with a Blizzard Treat on the day with #MiracleTreatYourSelfie.
