The Opening of Libya: Cinnabon

A short article earlier today notes that Cinnabon is the first US franchise in Libya. So following months of air support during civil war and then assistance getting the oil flowing, the US sends in...Cinnabon. Apparently, this move is successful and sales are booming - of course no one can resist the chemically induced indulgences created by American manufacturing genius. This does beg the question of which other franchises or, more critically, international businesses are looking at opening up in Libya, which is no longer the pariah state it once was, or the wild west that followed it. It can only be hoped that Cinnabon in Tripoli does not turn out to be the KFC in Fallujah.
