What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, before a Cinnaholic bakery can open for business, two designated managers must successfully complete the initial management training program to the satisfaction of Cinnaholic. These managers are responsible for the full-time management and operation of the bakery.
The franchisee must inform Cinnaholic in writing about the identity of these managers, including any additions or successors. While Cinnaholic does not charge a fee for up to two managers to participate in the initial training program, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs and expenses associated with the training, such as transportation, lodging, meals, and compensation for each person attending.
Furthermore, during operating hours, a manager who has successfully completed the initial training program must always be present at the bakery. If a manager leaves their position, the franchisee must notify Cinnaholic within 5 days and enroll a qualified replacement in the initial management training program within 30 days of the manager's departure. Cinnaholic retains the right to waive all or part of the required training program at its discretion.
