What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, if this is a franchisee's first or second Cinnabon location, Cinnabon will send representatives to the location, at their own expense, for a minimum of two days of on-site training. This training will occur concurrently with the beginning of operations.
This on-site training is designed to assist new franchisees in the initial setup and operation of their Cinnabon bakery. The training covers essential aspects of running the business, ensuring that franchisees start off on the right foot. This support is particularly valuable for those new to the Cinnabon system or to franchise ownership in general.
It is important to note that this minimum two-day training is provided at Cinnabon's expense, which can be a significant benefit for new franchisees as it reduces their initial costs. However, franchisees should confirm all details of the on-site training program with Cinnabon to fully understand the scope of the training and what it covers.
