What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, the Cinnabon Express Schedule replaces Schedule A of the Franchise Agreement if you will operate an Express Bakery. An Express Bakery is a Cinnabon location that produces and sells a limited selection of Cinnabon products from a space typically located within another restaurant, food service facility, or business approved by Cinnabon, referred to as a Host Facility.
Typically, Cinnabon offers the opportunity to operate an Express Bakery within a Schlotzsky's restaurant, which serves as the Host Facility. However, in certain situations, Cinnabon may offer the opportunity to operate an Express Bakery that is not located in a Host Facility or is located in a Host Facility operating under a brand other than Schlotzsky's.
For a prospective Cinnabon franchisee, this means that the terms specific to an Express Bakery operation, as outlined in the Cinnabon Express Schedule, will supersede the general terms in Schedule A of the standard Franchise Agreement. This ensures that the agreement accurately reflects the specific operational and financial aspects of running an Express Bakery, which may differ significantly from a traditional full-scale Cinnabon bakery.
