Cinnabon is the world-wide leader in the cinnamon
roll bakery category. Founded in Seattle, Washington in 1985,
Cinnabon opened its first bakery on December 4, 1985 at Sea
Tac Mall. At the time, only our Cinnabon Classic cinnamon
rolls were served. The brand has grown dramatically since
then. As of July 2005, the company had over 600 bakeries
worldwide. These bakeries are located nationwide, in Puerto
Rico and in over 30 other countries, leading to exceptional
brand awareness around the world. Cinnabon bakeries
are traditionally located in high-traffic venues such as shopping
malls, airports, universities, casinos, amusement parks, military
bases, train stations and travel plazas.
Cinnabon bakeries have built a reputation for serving fresh,
aromatic cinnamon rolls made with premium Indonesian cinnamon
and topped with a sweet, rich, cream cheese-based frosting.
Each Cinnabon product is served hot out of the oven and baked
fresh before our guest's eyes. Cinnabon's commitment to premium
ingredients and quality has paid off. Cinnabon bakeries have
been named the #1 restaurant chain in the USA by an ePinions
online poll. Additionally, Cinnabon was named one of the
top 50 pleasures in life by Expansion Magazine, the
most influential business magazine in all of Mexico.
Starting out as a single product, Cinnabon began to expand
its menu with the Minibon, a smaller version of
Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon roll, in late 1987.
In 1988, Cinnabon's first proprietary beverage, the Mochalatta
Chill was created and, to this day, remains one
of the most craved products on the menu. Following the successful
introduction of these products, Cinnabon continued to expand
its bakery menu and offerings, including the Pecanbon™
(1997), the award winning Cinnabon stix product
(2001), Chillattas™ Blended Beverages (2005), and CoffeeLattas™ (2006).
What began as a simple cinnamon roll sold only at Sea Tac
Mall has evolved into a global phenomenon. Whether you live
in Tokyo, Japan, Caracas, Venezuela or Australia, the aroma,
quality and freshness of a Cinnabon baked product
never changes. The first franchised bakery opened in August
1986 in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at King of
Prussia Mall. On the coattails of that opening, the brand
expanded internationally, to Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada in April of 1987. Our franchisees are our lifeblood for
growth and expansion into the future.
Cinnabon opened its first non-mall bakery in 1991 when it
opened in Detroit's Wayne County Airport. The expansion and
diversification has continued with the entry onto military
bases (Elmendorf Air Force Base - September 1999), theme parks
(Universal Studios Florida - June 2001), casinos (Harrah's
Laughlin - August 2001) and universities (Virginia Tech University
- August 2002). Today, non-traditional venues represent nearly
35% of the domestic system and have helped to make the Cinnabon
brand known around the world!
