For a Cinnabon franchise Remodel, which sections of the Franchise Agreement must the franchisee comply with?

According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee undertakes a Remodel of their franchise, they must comply with specific sections of the Franchise Agreement. These sections are 6.1, which pertains to Leasehold Improvements; 6.2, which covers Architectural Plans; and 6.3, which addresses Construction, Inspection, and Government Approvals.

This requirement means that franchisees need to adhere to Cinnabon's standards and directives when remodeling their locations. This includes obtaining necessary approvals for plans, designs, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and décor, ensuring they conform to Cinnabon's standards and applicable laws. Franchisees may also be required to purchase these items from approved suppliers designated or approved by Cinnabon.

Furthermore, the FDD indicates that a Remodel may require a significant capital investment from the franchisee. The franchisee is responsible for incurring all necessary capital expenditures to comply with Cinnabon's requirements, even if these expenditures cannot be amortized over the remaining term of the franchise agreement. This highlights the importance of franchisees being financially prepared for potential remodel costs and understanding the financial implications before undertaking such projects.
