**TL;DR:** Cinnaholic has risen in the rankings on Entrepreneur Magazine's 43rd Annual Franchise 500 List, with the company being recognized for the fourth year in a row. The list evaluates franchises based on factors such as costs and fees, size and growth, and financial strength and stability.

## Story

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Entrepreneur for the fourth year in a row and moving up in our ranking,” said Leanne Cavallaro, director of operations at Cinnaholic. "2021 was a great year for Cinnaholic, and we are excited to carry that momentum into 2022. Cinnaholic fans should be excited for what is to come!”

There are several key factors that go into the evaluation, including costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.

“The past year has been one of the most challenging for businesses in recent memory, which made putting together our 43rd annual Franchise 500 list more enlightening than ever,” says Entrepreneur Editor in Chief Jason Feifer. “The companies named to this year’s list showed us how being resilient, supportive, and nimble can help navigate extraordinary challenges and also underscore the grit and innovation that define entrepreneurship.”

Cinnaholic has set itself apart as a “better-for-you” option exclusively using plant-based ingredients without sacrificing taste. Its variety of frosting and topping options make each customer experience truly unique, appealing to sweet-toothed dessert lovers across North America. The brand also provides catering services, serving sweet treats for events large and small from birthday or office parties to baby showers and weddings.

Customers can expect nothing less than the highest quality ingredients, as the plant-based, vegan bakery franchise was founded upon a commitment that all ingredients must be animal-free and free of dairy, lactose, eggs and cholesterol.

Over its 43 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees.
