In which state were the most Cinnabon franchise outlets transferred to new owners in 2022?

According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Texas saw the highest number of franchise outlet transfers to new owners in 2022. Specifically, there were 20 transfers in Texas during that year. This figure is derived from Table No. 2, which details the transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers involving the franchisor itself.

For a prospective Cinnabon franchisee, this information is relevant for several reasons. A high number of transfers could indicate a healthy market for reselling franchises, or it could signal potential challenges in maintaining successful franchise operations. It is important to note that the number of transfers can be influenced by various factors, including local economic conditions, the performance of individual outlets, and the personal circumstances of franchisees.

It is also worth noting that the total number of transfers across all states in 2022 was 43. Texas, with its 20 transfers, accounted for a significant portion of these transfers. Reviewing transfer data over multiple years, as provided in the table (2022-2024), can provide a more comprehensive understanding of trends and potential risks or opportunities associated with Cinnabon franchise ownership in different states. A prospective franchisee should further investigate the reasons behind these transfers to assess the stability and attractiveness of the Cinnabon franchise system.
