According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after signing a lease for the Franchised Site, franchisees are required to pay a Project Management Fee, which is currently $1,795. In return, Cinnaholic will assist in developing the Bakery site.
This assistance includes monitoring the construction and build-out progress to ensure it aligns with Cinnaholic's standards.

This service is designed to help franchisees navigate the complexities of site development and construction, leveraging Cinnaholic's experience to avoid common pitfalls and maintain project momentum. However, the franchisee should confirm with Cinnaholic what specific services are included in the project management fee.
