You always know a Cinnabon is nearby because of the sweet scent wafting in the air. And the bakery shop has been pulling fresh, hot cinnamon rolls out of the oven for 40 years.
This year marks Cinnabon’s 40th birthday and they’re celebrating by taking customers back to 1985 with a sweet deal on its signature treat.
