No, Auntie Anne’s does not own Cinnabon. Both Auntie Anne’s and Cinnabon are owned by Focus Brands Inc. Focus Brands is a parent company that also owns other well-known brands like Moe’s Southwest Grill and Schlotzsky’s.
Auntie Anne’s is famous for its delicious pretzels, while Cinnabon is best known for its mouth-watering cinnamon rolls. Though they are both under the same parent company, they operate separately and have their unique menus and branding.
Focus Brands Inc., the parent company, manages a diverse range of food brands. This allows Auntie Anne’s and Cinnabon to benefit from shared resources and strategies while maintaining their distinct identities.
So, even though Auntie Anne’s and Cinnabon might sometimes be found in the same locations, they are not owned by each other. They simply share a common parent company, Focus Brands Inc.
