Cinnabon is a chain of American baked goods stores and kiosks, normally found in high-traffic areas such as malls. The company's signature item is a large cinnamon As of July 2009, over 750 Cinnabon bakeries are in operation in over 30 countries around the world. Its headquarters are located in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Cinnabon was first opened in the Seattle, Washington suburb of Federal Way on December 4, 1985, as a single bakery in the Sea Tac Mall. This bakery began by serving only its original Cinnabon Classic. Since this time, Cinnabon has evolved into a franchised company. The first franchiseopened in August 1986 in Philadelphia. The company is owned by Focus Brands, an affiliate of private equity firm Roark Capital Group.[4] In 1991, the first Cinnabon outside a mall was opened in Detroit's Wayne County Airport. Today, Cinnabon stores can be found in military bases, malls, airports, university campuses, rapid transit stations, casinos, and amusement parks. Cinnabon touts its use of "Makara Cinnamon" from Indonesia. Pillsbury asserts that their Grands cinnamon rolls and Cinnamon Toaster Strudel are made with Cinnabon's Makara cinnamon. |
