For Cinnabon franchise agreement transfers (control, non-control, or related party) or reinstatement, what initial franchise fee is used for a Concession Bakery?

According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee applicable during franchise agreement transfers or reinstatement for a Concession Bakery is the then-current initial franchise fee for a Concession Bakery. This applies to control transfers, non-control transfers, related party transfers, and reinstatements.

Specifically, when a Cinnabon franchisee seeks to transfer their franchise to a new owner (either a control transfer, non-control transfer, or related party transfer) or seeks reinstatement of a terminated franchise agreement, the fee is based on the initial fee for a Concession Bakery at that time, not the initial fee for a different type of Cinnabon franchise.

This ensures that the transfer or reinstatement fee aligns with the specific type of Cinnabon franchise being transferred or reinstated, which in this case is a Concession Bakery. This is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as the initial franchise fee can vary depending on the type of Cinnabon bakery.
