Franchise Summary

Description
You will operate a Cinnabon® retail bakery. Bakeries are retail stores that sell fresh baked cinnamon rolls and related products. There are three types of Bakeries: a Full Bakery, an Express Bakery, and a Concession Bakery.
Company Background
For over 30 years, we've been baking up warm, gooey cinnamon rolls and other bakery favorites. Our mission is to be the best part of your day and provide you with a sweet escape from reality. We're not just bakers; we're family.
Franchise Opportunity
Operating a Cinnabon(R) retail bakery can be difficult. There are many things to consider, such as where to set up your bakery, how much product to make each day, and what price to charge for your cinnamon rolls. Without the right information, it can be tough to make a profit in the Cinnabon(R) retail bakery business. You could end up selling too few cinnamon rolls at too high of a price, or making too many and not selling them all. With our help, you will be able to open and operate a successful Cinnabon(R) retail bakery. We will provide you with everything you need to know about running a Cinnabon(R) store, from setting up your bakery to pricing your products correctly.
