Cinnabon is famous for creating ‘world’s greatest cinnamon roll’, a delicious treat the brand prides itself on producing in-store every 30 minutes.

Company director Gaurav Bansal told Franchise Business, there has been overwhelming support for the planned openings by Australian fans of the brand.

‘We knew there would be a strong market for Cinnabon in Australia, but we’re already amazed by the fan base around the country begging us to open in their city,’ he told the publication.

He said while he understands breaking into an already saturated cafe market might be tough, Cinnabon offered a point of difference in how it produced its goods.

‘We have a lot of muffin brands and doughnut brands in Australia, but there’s nothing like a QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) bakery product that produces hot scrolls every 30 minutes,’ Mr Bansal said.
