What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, several sections of the Franchise Agreement are amended depending on the type of franchise a franchisee is opening. For a Cinnabon Express Bakery, Section 1.1, titled "Grant of Franchise," is amended to specify that the Franchised Business shall operate as a Cinnabon® express bakery, selling a limited selection of approved products from within a facility operated by a third party, referred to as a "Host Facility."
For a Cinnabon Concession Bakery, Section 1.1, titled "Grant of Franchise" is amended to specify that the Franchised Business will operate as a Cinnabon® food truck (a "Concession Bakery"), which will sell a limited selection of Approved Products designated by Cinnabon. The Concession Bakery may be operated in another facility or private space, which shall be referred to as the "Host Facility."
For a Cinnabon Swirl Business, Section 1.1, titled "Grant of Franchise" is amended to grant the franchisee a nonexclusive license to operate one Swirl Business using the Marks and the System. The Franchised Business must be operated at the Accepted Location in conjunction with a Carvel® franchised business that is operated by the franchisee in accordance with a Carvel® franchise agreement between the franchisee and Carvel Franchisor SPV LLC. The Franchised Business and the Co-Branded Franchise shall be co-branded using the Marks and the trademarks licensed to the franchisee by the Co-Branded Franchisor and shall be primarily identified by the CINNABON SWIRL™ Mark and trade dress.
For a Cinnabon franchise where the franchisee already has an existing Cinnabon bakery, Section 1.1, titled "Grant of Franchise" of the Franchise Agreement is deleted and replaced with a new section. The new section states that Cinnabon grants the franchisee a non-exclusive license to operate one Business using the Marks and the System. Unless Cinnabon authorizes the franchisee to operate a satellite retail unit (a "SRU"), the Franchised Business will be operated only at the location specified in Schedule A. If Cinnabon approves the franchisee to operate an SRU, the franchisee may engage in certain, but not all, of the activities contemplated by this Agreement from a location that Cinnabon specifies (the "SRU Location"). The SRU will also be considered part of the definition of Franchised Business.
