Hype Chain Opens at Karlsruhe's Europaplatz: Unveiling Commences in High Anticipation
A new craze is sweeping young folks in Karlsruhe off their feet. The hippest spot to hit the city is the stylish baked goods store at Europa Platz, and the hype doesn't seem to be cooling down anytime soon.
Going Crazy for Sweets: DJs, Confetti, and a Sugar Rush
People are congregating in massive lines, whipping out their phones to make purchases, and swarming around flavors like "Oreo", "Matcha", or "Dubai Dream". The buzz around this fresh addition to Karlsruhe is so immense, it's got everyone insatiable for more. DJs, confetti rain, and a plethora of young visitors made the grand opening of the new store in a historic building near Europa Platz an event to remember. The prime location for this new shop is on Kaiser Street, nestled between street food, sneaker stores, and student culture.
This is Cinnamood, the shop for cinnamon rolls with a trendy twist. Founded in 2022 by Anna Schlecht and Luca Breuer, the startup has skyrocketed in popularity, launching 41 branches in 34 cities and four countries (our country, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg). And according to sources, another 20 locations are already in the works! Abdenor Khattabi, who's already successful with the chain's Karlsruhe competitor, is the one bringing this sweet sensation to the Fächerstadt despite upcoming construction work in Kaiser Street.
Make Room for More: Colorful, Modern, and Ready for the Spotlight
The menu caters to every craving: From the traditional cinnamon rolls, starting at 4.50 euros, to the extravagant "Dubai Dream Roll" for 5.90 euros. In between, you'll find delectable variations with blueberry, speculoos, pistachio, Bueno, red velvet, or white chocolate raspberry. And the most popular "Most Wanted Rolls"? Those'll set you back 5.20 euros.
What's truly impressive: The bold youth are not only eager to experiment with flavors, but also with payment methods. Contactless payment, whether it's via smartphone, smartwatch, or card, is the norm at Cinnamood. This cutting-edge approach sees the bakery leading the way in retail's digital transformation, as even supermarkets are looking to ditch cash.
As for the future, Cinnamood may be positioning itself to take over the nation, going international as it appeals to young people worldwide. While specific details about future locations are scarce, a focus on social media engagement and catering to diverse tastes suggests it might not be long before you see a Cinnamood in your own town.
