What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Cinnaholic Franchise Disclosure Document, Cinnaholic requires each bakery to be open no less than 70 hours per week. The specific hours are detailed in the Operations Manual, which Cinnaholic can update from time to time.

This means that while the current minimum is 70 hours, Cinnaholic has the right to change this requirement in the future. These changes will be communicated through updates to the Operations Manual, and franchisees are expressly required to comply with these changes within a reasonable timeframe, typically 30 days after notification if no specific time is given.

For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that the operating hour requirements are not fixed and can be adjusted by Cinnaholic. It is important to stay informed of any updates to the Operations Manual and be prepared to adjust the bakery's schedule accordingly to remain compliant with the franchise agreement. This flexibility allows Cinnaholic to adapt to changing market conditions or customer demands, but it also places the onus on the franchisee to be adaptable.
