Cindy and Tom Harris were inspired to open their own shop after seeing customers line up to watch warm cinnamon rolls come out of the oven at a bakery. The couple felt making and selling warm cinnamon rolls in a mall would be a hit, so they opened their first Cindy's Cinnamon Rolls store in Fort Collins, Colorado, in 1985. Customers were drawn to the store by the smell of the baking rolls, and would line up for the warm rolls and coffee.
Cindy's began franchising in 1986 and now has stores in malls across the United States in addition to several international locations.
Anyone who has ever been to New Jersey knows how a real Jersey Sub should taste. And it's that taste that has kept so many hungry people coming back again and again to Baldino's. We have offered that same great taste in our subs since the day we opened. From our classic flattop style grilling, to the freshest ingredients all stuffed into a terrific Italian roll, Baldino's tradition continues to grow with the same great taste and quality that inspired our first Fayetteville location over 35 years ago.
Now with more than 20 locations throughout North Carolina and Georgia, the Baldino's traditions continues with an ever-expanding line-upof new, fresh sandwiches, great sides and drinks to keep you coming back again and again.
The proprietors of the Fayetteville area Baldinos, the Pappas family, would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your continued support. If there is anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable , please let us know. And if you're one of our racing fans, please tell a friend!
