"Cinnabon represents mall culture indulgence, with that famous cinnamon-sugar scent enveloping you before you even set sights on the kiosk. Since opening its first shop in the SeaTac mall in Seattle, Washington in 1985, the chain has spread across the U.S. and abroad - embedding itself in food courts, gas stations, and travel hubs as a reliable purveyor of cream cheese frosting and nostalgia."
"For locals, probably not much - especially considering the fact that residents can still get Cinnabon products at grocery stores. The brand sells frozen buns and at-home baking kits in stores across the country, including Vermont and Maine. It's also worth noting that, apart from all of the other varieties of sweet pastries locals can find from small businesses, cross-border Cinnabon fixes aren't far away - New Hampshire and Massachusetts both have locations."
Cinnabon began with its first shop in the SeaTac mall in Seattle, Washington in 1985 and expanded across the U.S. and abroad into food courts, travel hubs, and retail outlets. The chain has locations in 48 states but lacks storefronts in Maine and Vermont. Regional dessert traditions such as sticky buns in Pennsylvania, maple-glazed pastries in Vermont, and whoopie pies in Maine occupy similar niches. Franchise decisions favor high-traffic airports and large shopping centers over rural or small-mall markets. Frozen buns and at-home baking kits provide brand access in areas without kiosks.
