Under what conditions can a Cinnabon SRU be relocated, and who must provide written approval?

According to the 2025 Cinnabon FDD, a Satellite Retail Unit (SRU) can be relocated if a more suitable location becomes available to the lessee. However, this relocation is contingent upon receiving written approval from the Lessor, Franchisor, and the Landlord. The franchisee, referred to as the Lessee, is responsible for all expenses associated with the relocation of the SRU, and the relocation must occur within the timeframe specified by the Landlord and approved by both the Lessor and Franchisor.

This condition highlights the importance of maintaining positive relationships with all involved parties, as the relocation hinges on their collective approval. The franchisee bears the financial burden of the move, making it crucial to carefully evaluate the potential benefits of relocating against the costs involved.

This requirement for triple approval—from the Lessor, Franchisor, and Landlord—is stricter than the approval process for a standard Cinnabon franchise, where only the franchisor's approval is explicitly mentioned. This difference likely reflects the SRU's more integrated operational structure within another business or location, necessitating broader agreement for any changes.
