Cinnaholic will open 25 new locations after selling $20 million worth of vegan cinnamon rolls in 2021

Vegan cinnamon roll franchise Cinnaholic aims to open 25 new locations by the end of 2022. Despite the challenges all restaurants have faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cinnaholic has had a great 2021 and achieved $20 million in sales from its existing locations. Compared to 2020, Cinnaholic’s sales are up 64% in the United States and 30% in Canada (where it’s a favorite of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau). While the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic forced many chains to close sites, in 2021 all Cinnaholic sites remained operational.

“2021 has been a fantastic year for Cinnaholic, and it has been exciting to watch the brand continue to grow over the past few months,” Leanne Cavallaro, COO of Cinnaholic, said in a statement. “We have a lot to look forward to with new openings on the horizon and new owners joining our family. We are also grateful to our hard-working franchisees, who embody the Cinnaholic spirit in every bakery.”

The brand currently operates over 60 locations in the United States and Canada and is considered a highly sought-after franchise brand due to its low start-up costs, manageable operations, in-house training as well as support for real estate, construction, operations and marketing. Over the past 12 months, Cinnaholic has opened 13 locations with plans for another 18 new outposts in early 2022. The new locations are planned for new markets in Florida, Ohio, New York and the Massachusetts.

Vegan cinnamon buns for all

Husband and wife team Shannon and Florian Radke opened Cinnaholic’s flagship location in Berkeley, Calif., in 2009 and began franchising the vegan cinnamon roll chain in 2014 after appearing on a reality show on the ‘investment. shark tank. While the company received an offer from “shark” Robert Herjavec for $200,000 in exchange for a 40% stake, the Radkes decided to go in a different direction to grow Cinnaholic as a franchise across the world. North America – and that decision paid off.

The vegan bakery is known for its delicious cinnamon rolls, which can be customized with over 20 flavors of frosting and over 20 toppings. In addition to cinnamon rolls, Cinnaholic offers a variety of vegan baked goods, including cookies, brownies, and cakes. The bakery also offers catering services for birthdays and other special events.

In addition to its main menu, the chain has also been known to experiment with new items such as the Savory Pizza Roll (stuffed with vegan cheese and marinara sauce) and the Fluffernutter Roll (filled with gelatin-free marshmallows).

“We love coming up with ways to treat our fans – and we have great menu and promotional plans for the New Year,” Cavallaro said. “Cinnaholic fans can definitely expect some exciting brand news in 2022. Whether we’re rolling out deals or new flavors, we’re always ready to spice things up.”
