## Story

Cinnaholic, the gourmet cinnamon roll bakery acclaimed for serving innovative cinnamon roll creations, has announced that its first Ottawa location will open on Friday, May 24 at 900 Exhibition Way in Ottawa. The Ottawa bakery is the fourth location in Ontario and seventh in Canada. In a special grand opening deal, the bakery will be offering cinnamon rolls for only $1 (one per customer) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on opening day.

The grand opening signifies meaningful and continued growth for the gourmet cinnamon roll chain. The new Ottawa location joins existing locations in Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, California, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Maryland, Washington and Florida. Cinnaholic gained national attention after the company was featured on ABC’s hit show “Shark Tank.”

The fast-growing brand was also recently featured on Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500® list. Cinnaholic began franchising in 2014 and currently has over 100 units in development, including locations in Phoenix, Chicago and Orange County.

“There is a tremendous amount of excitement to serve our award-winning cinnamon rolls to the people of Ottawa,” said Elliot Tremblay, the owner of the new Cinnaholic location in Ottawa. “I’m eager to bring such a delicious and allergy-friendly dessert to my community. The concept is fun and will serve a growing demographic in the area,” added Tremblay, who is opening the bakery with his wife, Kelly.

A cinnamon roll experience unlike any other, customers can choose from a variety of Cinnaholic’s signature frosting flavors and toppings to create their very own, mouthwatering cinnamon roll experience. Customers can expect nothing less than the highest quality ingredients, as the plant-based bakery franchise was founded upon a commitment that all ingredients must be animal-free and free of dairy, lactose, eggs and cholesterol.

“Elliot is the perfect person to grow the Cinnaholic brand in Ottawa,” said Shannon Radke, co-founder of Cinnaholic. “His commitment to the community is outstanding, and he truly understands the Cinnaholic concept and business model.”

Founded in 2009 in Berkeley, California, Cinnaholic is the only gourmet bakery that allows customers to completely customize cinnamon rolls with more than 20 frosting flavors and over 20 topping choices. Each Cinnaholic cinnamon roll is 100% vegan and free of dairy, lactose, eggs or cholesterol, allowing guests to enjoy their mouthwatering creations without worrying about certain dietary or allergy restrictions.
