What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after signing a lease for the Franchised Site, franchisees must pay a Project Management Fee, which is currently $1,795. In return, Cinnaholic will assist in developing the bakery site. This assistance includes monitoring construction and build-out progress, attempting to identify potential bottlenecks, and helping expedite pre-construction activities.

This service is designed to help franchisees navigate the often complex and time-sensitive process of opening a new location. By monitoring construction and identifying potential delays, Cinnaholic aims to keep the project on track and minimize potential disruptions. The Project Management Fee covers these specific services related to site development.

While Cinnaholic provides this assistance, it is important for prospective franchisees to understand the scope and limitations. The assistance focuses on monitoring and expediting the process, but franchisees are ultimately responsible for managing the construction and build-out. It would be prudent for potential franchisees to clarify the extent of Cinnaholic's involvement and support during the construction phase to ensure they have a clear understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities.
