What is a Cinnaholic franchisee required to maintain on equipment and machinery designated by Franchisor?

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to maintain maintenance contracts and/or service contracts on all equipment and machinery that the franchisor designates. This means that if Cinnaholic specifies certain equipment as requiring upkeep, the franchisee must secure contracts to ensure that maintenance and service are performed.

Furthermore, Cinnaholic retains the right to designate the vendors for these maintenance and service contracts, as well as specify the requirements for the contracts themselves. This gives Cinnaholic significant control over who performs the maintenance and what the terms of those service agreements must include.

This requirement ensures that Cinnaholic locations maintain a consistent standard of operational efficiency and equipment quality. For a prospective franchisee, this means budgeting for ongoing maintenance and service contracts and understanding that they may not have complete freedom in choosing service providers or negotiating contract terms.
