CaseStudy Founder Rich Komen opened the very first Cinnabon location in SeaTac Mall, about 20 miles south of Seattle, on Dec. 4, 1985. That is the record according to Seattle Met’s in-depth history of the brand. Initially managed by Komen’s son, Greg, it sold only one item: The gigantic, pillow-y soft cinnamon rolls.

BIG Bon’s!

We always advocate, “Know thy customer’s demographics.”

What else can we tell you about the Big BONS promotion? It worked and while they spent to launch the line they are also generating profits from the sale of their wearables line...which we’d bet on will soon expand into other related products.
