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.
