What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, information regarding the number of Cinnabon outlets opened in California during 2023 is not explicitly available in the provided excerpts. While there is data on franchise agreements signed but bakeries not yet opened, and projected new franchised bakeries, the specific number of outlets that commenced operations in California in 2023 is not disclosed. The FDD includes tables showing outlet data for various states, but California is not among those listed with specific details on openings, closures, and other changes in 2023.
Item 20 provides data regarding the 'Status of Affiliate-Owned Outlets' and 'Franchise Agreements Signed But Bakeries Not Open' along with 'Projected New Franchised Bakeries'. However, these tables do not specify the actual number of Cinnabon bakeries that opened in California during 2023. The document provides a general overview of outlet activity in other states, but a detailed breakdown for California is absent.
A prospective Cinnabon franchisee should directly ask the franchisor for the specific number of Cinnabon outlets that opened in California during 2023 to gain a clearer understanding of the brand's expansion and performance in that state. This information is crucial for assessing the growth potential and market dynamics of Cinnabon in California.
