Edible Arrangements
You’re an entrepreneur but you want to use that creative side you’ve been hiding for all these years. If so, then Edible Arrangements is the franchise for you. Edible Arrangements caters to corporate and personal clients who are looking for something different than the “same-old” gifts such as flowers and unhealthy food. Made from healthy ingredients, these gifts appeal to a wide range of customers.
Edible Arrangements combines the best of both concepts allowing you to start a profitable and fulfilling business. Started in 1999 in New Haven, CT, Edible Arrangements started franchising in 2001 in Massachusetts. They rapidly expanded to other parts of the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states and beyond. Today they have over 850 locations worldwide. Edible Arrangements Franchises are available in the US, Canada, The United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait.
“The total estimated investment for each Edible Arrangements franchise ranges from $147,530 – $307,890, including an initial franchise fee. The fee entitles you to continued use of the Edible Arrangements name and trademarks, access to our operating systems, marketing guidance, new product design, ongoing business consulting, and other benefits that come with being part of the Edible Arrangements organization.”
“In 2006 Edible Arrangements launched Frutation, a new concept that will take fresh fruit products to the next level. Frutation is an all natural fruit station with a product collection that targets consumers who want a fresh and delicious treat on the go. The menu includes a variety of items such as Fruithy (all natural fresh fruit smoothies), fresh juices, fruit salads, spiced fruit salads, fruit sundaes and dipped fruit. The concept provides a unique and healthy option and is built upon the reputation of Edible Arrangements which is known for product quality, novelty and excellent service.”
They are currently seeking qualified applications in a variety of locations. To get an idea of how this opportunity works and hear from some of their satisfied owners, you can check out the testimonials available at Edible Arrangements’ website. But don’t stop there when deciding whether this opportunity is right for you. They have a section where you can find immediate opportunities in a number of states to purchase a franchise.
As always when planning a new business venture, make sure to get all of your financial information together and talk the opportunity over thoroughly with your accountant or attorney. Remember that although the information about initial costs is available on the website, you might have other expenses such as village and state requirements, health inspections and legal fees. And never go into business situation without the full support of your family and loved-ones. Although purchasing a franchise allows you to partake of the corporate marketing and advertising available to you, you’ll still put in long hours and a considerable amount of your heart and soul into making it work.
