What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the number of Cinnabon outlets in Kansas remained constant during 2023. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD lists the 'Outlets at Start of Year' and 'Outlets at End of Year'.
Specifically, for Kansas in 2023, the number of outlets at the beginning of the year was 12, and the number of outlets at the end of the year was also 12. This indicates that there were no new openings, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, or ceased operations for other reasons during that year in Kansas.
For a prospective franchisee, this stable number could suggest a steady market presence in Kansas. However, it is important to investigate further into the performance of these existing outlets and the market conditions in Kansas to understand the potential for growth or any challenges in that specific region. Further due diligence is recommended to understand why there were no changes in outlet numbers during 2023 and to assess future opportunities.
