In addition to his role with Cinnabon, he continues to lead the development functions for all FOCUS Brands. Geoff received his CFE designation from the International Franchise Association as a Certified Franchise Executive in 2005 and currently serves on the Board of Governors for the ICFE program as its chairman. Prior to Carvel, Geoff was vice president of sales for Vital Link Business Systems. At Vital Link, Geoff managed the sales team and developed the strategic sales plan resulting in the sale of over 3,000 systems in 15 months. From 1995 to 2000, Geoff was Regional Vice President of US Franchise Systems, managing the franchise sales and development for Microtel Inns and Hawthorn Suites. He began his tenure at USFS as Director of Franchise Sales in the Midwest. Finally, Geoff started his career with the Bristol Hotel Company, one of the largest hotel owners and operators in the U.S. at one time. Becoming the youngest general manager in the history of the company, he also held the positions of director of sales & marketing and corporate sales manager. Geoff attended the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration where he graduated in 1992 with a major in Hospitality marketing and operations.

  FOCUS Brands in Atlanta, parent of Moe's, Schlotzsky's, Carvel and Cinnabon, is also still expanding and sold 50 new units in the past three months, says Geoff Hill, Cinnabon president and the multi-concept company's current head of franchise sales.
  
  And because so many other brands have stopped expanding, FOCUS brand franchisees are often getting good deals on sites.

  Cinnabon, known best for its rolls, also is exploring ways to raise awareness and sales of its beverages, said Cinnabon President Geoff Hill. It offers coffee, lemonade and chilled and blended frozen beverages flavored with fruit, coffee and chocolate.
  
  Beverages make up about 20 percent of sales at a typical outlet, but Hill said Cinnabon hopes to push that to 25 percent to 30 percent of sales with two key changes already in the works.
  
  It's testing a new "Cinnabar" section in a Houston store that draws more attention to the drinks. Cinnabon also is talking with potential beverage partners to help expand its offerings, Hill said.
  
  The goal is to add more beverage sales to orders and use beverages to increase the frequency of visits by guests, he said.
  
  "People drink coffee every day," Hill said.
