What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one Cinnabon outlet in Alaska was terminated in 2023. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD outlines the number of outlets that began the year, opened, terminated, non-renewed, were reacquired by the franchisor, or ceased operations for other reasons, as well as the number of outlets at the end of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that in Alaska, one Cinnabon location closed due to termination out of the three that were operating at the beginning of 2023. This resulted in a decrease in the number of Cinnabon outlets in Alaska from three to two by the end of 2023.
It is important to note that terminations can occur for various reasons, such as failure to meet performance standards, non-compliance with brand standards, or other breaches of the franchise agreement. Reviewing the reasons for past terminations can provide valuable insight for potential franchisees.
