Rich and Greg Komen’s mission was to pioneer the “world’s best cinnamon roll.” To accomplish this, they hired a local food connoisseur, Jerilyn Brusseau. After many months, hundreds of kitchen experiments, and numerous trips to Indonesia to find the best, most flavorful cinnamon, the team perfected its famous Cinnabon recipe. Soon after, they opened the first Cinnabon bakery on Dec. 4, 1985 at Sea
Tac Mall in Seattle, WA. From this single bakery, the Cinnabon brand has grown into a worldwide phenomenon thanks to our Founders, Franchise Partners and Guests. Our global footprint now reaches more than 45 countries across 5 continents, serving baked goods such as the famous Classic Rolls, Minibons, Cinnabon Bites, Caramel Pecanbon Rolls, CinnaPacks and Cinnabon Stix -all made with our signature Makara Cinnamon - as well as specialty beverages like the Mochalatta Chill and various flavors of Chillattas. Whatever you're in the mood for, we believe that Life Needs Frosting®. Our motto represents our world-famous goodies, but even more than that, it's our very reason to be. We provide the balance you need in life. For moms with kids and shopping bags in tow, travelers with stacked suitcases, even students who need a study break, Cinnabon is an escape, a mini vacation, the frosting of life!
