Cinnabon first re-entered the Singapore market with an outlet at Raffles City Shopping Centre in February 2023, followed by openings at Jewel Changi Airport and Ion Orchard. However, the latter will be the only remaining location as the brand's other two outlets have already closed.8

In its Instagram post, Cinnabon stated, “From our very first Bon to the many that followed, you have made Cinnabon part of your cravings, catch-ups, celebrations and everyday moments. Now, it is time for one last Bon together.” The post also thanked customers for being part of their journey, highlighting the emotional connection the brand has built with its patrons.34

Cinnabon previously exited the Singapore market in 2002 but made a comeback in 2023. The closure of the Ion Orchard outlet signifies the end of its brief resurgence in the region, leaving fans of the brand with fond memories of its signature cinnamon rolls and cream cheese frosting.

The brand's website lists the Ion Orchard store at basement level four, emphasizing its strategic location in one of Singapore's premier shopping destinations.
