Cindy's Cinnamon Rolls Cost Comparisons

About Cindy's Cinnamon Rolls

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.
