What must a Cinnabon franchisee do if required or authorized to sell alcoholic beverages?

According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Cinnabon requires or authorizes a franchisee to sell alcoholic beverages, the franchisee must obtain any necessary permits or licenses. This requirement is mentioned in the context of adhering to Cinnabon's standards for approved products.

This means that a prospective Cinnabon franchisee needs to be aware of the potential requirement to obtain permits and licenses related to alcohol sales if Cinnabon decides to include alcoholic beverages in the approved product list for their bakery. The franchisee would be responsible for understanding and complying with all local and state regulations regarding the sale of alcohol.

It is important for potential franchisees to discuss with Cinnabon the likelihood of being required or authorized to sell alcoholic beverages in their specific location. Understanding this requirement early on can help franchisees prepare for the additional costs and responsibilities associated with obtaining the necessary permits and licenses.
