Move Over Cupcakes! Vegan Cinnamon Buns Are the Next Big Thing

Sarah Von Alt May 14, 2014

ls.jpgA recent Entrepreneur article reports that vegan company Cinnaholic aims to make “gourmet, over-the-top” cinnamon buns the new cupcake.

After a recent appearance by founders Florian and Shannon Radke on Shark Tank, a reality television program that features business pitches to a group of potential investors, this vegan venture is now the recipient of a $200,000 investment.

According to Entrepreneur:

Cinnaholic, which sets itself apart from the cutesy cupcake market with its bold black-and-white store design, announced that it would begin franchising a little over one month ago. The company has already received over 100 serious requests from potential franchisees. [Florian] Radke expects that number to skyrocket after last Friday’s Shark Tank episode.

The Shark Tank effect tends to translate into immediate spike in popularity for businesses featured on the show – especially those the sharks take a liking to.

With veganism on the rise, healthy vegan versions of traditionally animal-derived foods are becoming more widely available. It’s never been easier to take a stand against the suffering endured by animals on factory farms.
