Cinnabon Posts Strong Growth in 2025 QSR Contenders List
Cinnabon, a GoTo Foods brand, showed notable systemwide sales growth in the 2025 QSR Contenders list, which will be fully released in August alongside the QSR 50.
Cinnabon, the 1984-founded treat concept and part of GoTo Foods' seven-brand lineup, has emerged as a standout growth performer in this year's QSR Contenders list. The list, which ranks 50 brands by systemwide sales outside the top group, will be fully unveiled in August alongside the QSR 50.
Details
QSR did not disclose specific growth figures for Cinnabon but noted it was the most notable chain from a growth perspective among the contenders. Cinnabon is one of seven brands owned by GoTo Foods, which acquired the company earlier.
Context
The news comes amid intense competition in the quick-service and bakery sector, where smaller chains are vying for market share. Cinnabon is known for its cinnamon rolls and operates primarily through a franchise model.
What This Means for Investors
While Cinnabon is not a publicly traded standalone entity, its performance enhances the value of GoTo Foods' portfolio. This could attract investor interest in the premium bakery and franchise segments.
