What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one Cinnaholic outlet opened in Alabama during 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets opened, terminated, non-renewed, reacquired, or ceased operations for various states over the past three years. This information is valuable for potential franchisees as it offers insight into the brand's growth and stability in different markets.
Specifically, the table shows that Alabama had one outlet at the start of 2024, opened one new outlet during the year, experienced one outlet ceasing operations for other reasons, and ended the year with one outlet. This suggests that while there was expansion, there was also a closure, resulting in no net gain in the number of Cinnaholic locations in Alabama for that year.
Reviewing this type of data across multiple states and years can help a prospective franchisee identify trends, understand market saturation, and assess the overall health of the Cinnaholic franchise system. It's important to note the reasons behind closures, which could range from poor performance to strategic decisions by the franchisee or franchisor. This information, combined with other due diligence, can inform a more comprehensive investment decision.
