What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 3 Cinnabon outlets open in Iowa at the end of 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of franchise-operated bakeries as of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. This information does not include franchisees who have signed agreements but have not opened, or those whose agreements were terminated before opening.
Specifically, for Iowa, the table shows the number of outlets at the start of 2024 was 3. During 2024, there were no new Cinnabon outlets opened, and no terminations, non-renewals or re acquisitions by the franchisor. There were also no outlets that ceased operations for other reasons. Therefore, the number of Cinnabon outlets at the end of 2024 remained at 3.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the stability of Cinnabon's presence in Iowa over the past few years. It's important to note that these figures only reflect franchisee-operated locations and do not include any corporate-owned stores, if any. A potential franchisee should investigate the reasons for the lack of growth in Iowa and whether this represents an opportunity or a cause for concern.
