The world’s first-ever Cinnabon Swirl is opening its doors at Lake Pleasant Crossing on Friday, May 23, with a grand opening celebration on Friday, May 30, company officials say.
Locals will be the first in the country to experience the sweet new concept from GoTo Foods, the company behind brands like Auntie Anne’s, Carvel, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister’s Deli, Moe’s Southwest Grill, and Schlotzsky’s, according to a news release.
A union of two brands, Cinnabon Swirl draws inspiration from the ooey-gooey goodness of Cinnabon and soft serve from Carvel.
“Bringing the first-ever Cinnabon Swirl to Peoria is an incredible honor,” said Namit Mangat, franchise owner. “This is more than just opening a dessert shop. It’s about introducing something fresh, fun, and unforgettable to a city I love. I’m proud to give our community a first taste of a concept that will soon be nationwide.”
Guests can enjoy the menu items from Cinnabon and Carvel, as well as items that can only be found at Cinnabon Swirl.
Signature menu items include:
- Bonini: Cinnabon Classic Roll meets Carvel vanilla soft serve in one warm-pressed treat.
- Cinnabon Swirl Sundae: Warm, center swirls of a Cinnabon Classic Roll chopped and topped with Carvel vanilla soft serve and a caramel drizzle.
- Ice Cream Sandwiches: Carvel soft serve ice cream swirled between two freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
- Premium Pints: Layers of Carvel soft serve swirled together with favorite toppings.
The Peoria location will also feature two limited-edition soft serve flavors each month, starting with Birthday Cake and Cold Brew. These flavors can be enjoyed in a cup, a cone, and an ice cream sandwich.
Four other locations are opening nationwide later this year.
