  • “My business partner and I owned two start up companies together and we wanted to join a franchise to get the support we could not always get in owning our own companies. We found that support with Cinnaholic. We are part of a family with this company. Our ideas and concerns are always heard and years later we still love and believe in this brand.”

  • “It has always been a dream of ours to own our own bakery and Cinnaholic made that possible. Our corporate team helped set us up for success and we are absolutely loving every minute of being Cinnaholic franchise owners! A little over two years ago we signed papers to become franchisees and now have two profitable locations that are up and running smoothly. This was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and we are very proud to be a part of the Cinnaholic family.”

  • “As a self-made entrepreneur and first-time business owner, I know just how tremendous a step it is to invest and open your own business. That’s why we’ve done our best to simplify the process with our support system to help avoid the pitfalls you might experience working independently. Cinnaholic franchisees will own and operate their own business, but will never walk alone.”
