What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, the Swirl Bakery Schedule will replace Schedule A if the franchisee will be operating a Swirl Bakery. A Swirl Business operates with some modifications to the standard Cinnabon system and is primarily identified by the CINNABON SWIRL™ mark.
Schedule A typically contains franchise-specific terms, including the effective date of the agreement and the definition of "Franchisor." The Swirl Bakery Schedule would then supersede these terms with those specific to the Swirl Bakery operation.
This replacement indicates that Swirl Bakeries have distinct operational and contractual terms compared to standard Cinnabon franchises. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Swirl Bakery Schedule to understand these differences, as it directly impacts their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement.
