What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Table 1 in Item 19 provides financial performance representations for Enclosed Mall Franchises during Fiscal Year 2024. The table categorizes these franchises into quartiles based on net sales. For bakeries in the bottom quartile, the average net sales were $85,789, with a median net sales of $85,985. The lowest net sales reported for this quartile was $11,011, while the highest net sales reached $116,960.
This data reveals a significant range in performance among Cinnabon franchises, even within the bottom quartile. A prospective franchisee should recognize that achieving even the average sales figure is not guaranteed, as indicated by the fact that only 53% of bakeries in the bottom quartile attained or exceeded the average net sales for that group. The substantial difference between the lowest and highest net sales in the bottom quartile suggests that factors such as location, management, and local market conditions can greatly impact a Cinnabon bakery's financial performance.
It is important to note that these figures do not reflect the costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs that must be deducted to determine net income or profit. Cinnabon encourages prospective franchisees to consult with their own financial advisors to prepare budgets and projections and to contact existing franchisees to discuss their experiences. The FDD also states that written substantiation for the financial performance representations will be made available upon reasonable request.
