What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, Inspire Brands is the parent company to six franchisors offering and selling franchises in the United States. These franchisors include Arby's Franchisor, LLC, Baskin-Robbins Franchising LLC, Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc., Dunkin' Donuts Franchising LLC, Jimmy John's Franchisor SPV, LLC, and Sonic Franchising LLC.
Inspire Brands also has several franchisors that operate internationally, such as Inspire International, Inc., DB Canadian Franchising ULC, DDBR International LLC, DD Brasil Franchising Ltda., DB Mexican Franchising LLC, and BR UK Franchising LLC. These international franchisors focus on expanding the Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jimmy John's, Sonic, Dunkin', and Baskin-Robbins brands outside of the United States.
It is important to note that while these franchisors are affiliated with Inspire Brands, none of them operate a Cinnabon franchise. This means that Cinnabon franchisees will primarily interact with Cinnabon Franchisor SPV LLC and not directly with the other brands under the Inspire Brands umbrella. However, the backing of a large parent company like Inspire Brands can provide stability and resources for the Cinnabon franchise system.
