Minibon® Roll Will Be Available in BK® Locations Nationwide by September

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - Apr 24, 2012) - Cinnabon, Inc. and Burger King Corp. today announced that Minibon® rolls will be served at more than 7,000 BURGER KING® restaurants throughout the United States. The Minibon® roll is currently being served in several markets, including Charlotte, Chicago, Miami, New Jersey and New York, and will expand regionally over the summer.

"Our growth strategy over the next several years is aggressive and includes growth in franchising as well as licensing in other channels," said Kat Cole, president of Cinnabon. "Our guests throughout the U.S. want to be able to treat themselves to our products, and serving our products in BURGER KING® restaurants helps us serve those fans. We're excited to have the opportunity to celebrate the Minibon® roll's 25th birthday by expanding its availability across the country."

"At BURGER KING® we are constantly enhancing our menu to provide more great-tasting options for our guests and we are thrilled to offer Cinnabon® Minibon® rolls to our restaurant guests," said Alex Macedo, senior vice president, North America marketing, Burger King Corp. "From a tasty breakfast treat to an afternoon snack, the Minibon® roll is a best-in-class product that fits in well with our newly expanded menu and will provide our guests with yet another reason to come in to their local BURGER KING® restaurant."
