Meet me at Cinnabon for a treat.

First announced by People, the company is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary by selling its ooey gooey Classic Rolls for just $1.25. The price tag is a special one, as it’s the same cost customers paid when the bakery opened its first location in Seattle in 1985. (Psst: It's also a serious deal since the retailer normally charges close to $7 per bun.)

Here are the deets. On August 22, from 12 to 4 p.m. local time, Cinnabon Rewards members can pick up a $1.25 roll at their local participating Cinnabon. The in-store promotion will be available at select locations and has a limit of one per person.

The discounts don’t stop there, however, as new members of the rewards program will also score a complimentary 4-count BonBite with any purchase, exclusive surprise offers throughout the year *and* a special birthday treat. “People are looking for value, and it's tough right now, but everyone still wants that little moment that they can celebrate and indulge themselves,” Michael Pittman, Vice President and Head of Marketing for Cinnabon at GoTo Foods, told the publication, adding, “And Cinnabon is the perfect little treat to do that.

As if the tasty treat isn't enough, I almost forgot to mention the 1980s-themed $40 Bon Backpack that is literally made to cradle your Cinnabon (not joking). It’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen…especially since it features a built-in insulated compartment that will keep your delicious dessert warm all day. The bag is available for pre-order now, but the company notes it will take approximately 4-to-6 weeks for orders to ship (building an insulated compartment for a Cinnabon does take time, ya know).

A $1.25 Cinnabon…an ‘80s style Bon Bon backpack…sounds like we need to become Rewards members and get in on the action.

See you at a local Cinnabon on August 22, be there or be square.
