What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may deliver products for catering services within a reasonable distance of their bakery, but no more than 10 miles, using only ground transportation. This applies both within and outside the franchisee's designated territory.
This means that Cinnaholic franchisees are restricted to using vehicles like cars, vans, or trucks for catering deliveries. They cannot use air or water transportation. The 10-mile limit is measured from the bakery's location. This restriction could impact a franchisee's ability to serve larger catering orders that require travel beyond this radius.
Notably, franchisees can provide catering services in another franchisee's territory without needing to compensate them, and vice versa. This creates a competitive environment where franchisees may vie for catering business across different territories, as long as they adhere to the ground transportation requirement and the 10-mile radius limit. Prospective franchisees should consider how these rules might affect their catering strategy and potential revenue.
