Cinnabon is a renowned international franchise celebrated for its delectable cinnamon rolls and a variety of other cinnamon-infused delicacies. The brand's story began with the ambition of a father-son team to craft the ultimate cinnamon roll.
This aspiration culminated in the launch of the first Cinnabon Bakery on December 4, 1985, at the SeaTac Mall in Seattle, Washington. Their unwavering commitment to excellence and flavor led to the creation of the iconic Cinnabon cinnamon roll, which quickly garnered a loyal following.
Based in Sandy Springs, Georgia, Cinnabon has experienced remarkable growth since its founding. The franchise now boasts a presence in over 50 countries, making it a familiar fixture in shopping centers, airports, and other bustling locations.
Cinnabon sets itself apart with its exclusive Makara® Cinnamon from Indonesia, freshly prepared dough, and distinctive cream cheese frosting, offering a unique and indulgent treat that stands out in the market.
