  • “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.”

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.”
