    Tariq,

    I would love some advice. I am an entrepreneur expanding a business and have coincidentally taken some of the same steps you did...got a killer logo, searched out the absolute best products, etc. Also, my company has only been in business since this past October and I have gotten several franchise requests and numerous phone calls of people asking if I have a location in their area! Anyway, I would love some help navigating through an upcoming expansion/ growth period.

    I hope you can assist.

    Sincerely,

    Jeremy

I would like to know if I can get a job in Turkey since I'm a current employee of Edible Arrangements and I also have citizenship in Turkey and I speak Turkish as well.Please provide me with information. Thank You

    Great story of hard work, achievement, and giving back to the community. I wish we can also find ways to honor our parents and help people in general as you have been doing. Keep up the great work you have done and ALSO focusing on differentiating Edible Arrangements from other franchisors by ensuring more opportunity/security/benefits for the franshisees.

    Great success story! You build a hospital in Pakistan, and and Islamic School here in the U.S. - so where's the 'American' part come in?? You open business' in the U.S. for business thus creating work but your pay is very low and the workers work non-stop thru holidays even past midnight at times - you buy them food and they sometimes don't even get to eat it from the non stop caos! yeah it's all about Tariq and Kamron but he left out Irfan- THE CREATOR of the arrangements who ALSO WORKS FOR HIM. They leave him out of everything. Also his brother Emron who they have as a handyman who also never gets recognition. As he told his mom I want more...Greedy and all about himself. Good for HIS success. But all his brothers helped deliver newspapers and arrange flowers and deliver them and all had a part in this Franchise - he took the 'PRESIDENT ROLE'/CEO/WHATEVER BECAUSE HE WAS THE OLDEST AND THAT' ALL. If it wasn't for his father opening the flower shop that he all of a sudden thinks he created on HIS OWN Tariq you wouldn't be here, and the USA giving you that opportunity and all you did for this country is...sell us fruit at 3 times or more the markup??? Ex.Fruit arrangement that normally cost $15 or so they mark up to $75.00 or more!! That's robbery!! It's not all about you! You Greedy man!

    I'm impressed to see somoen from Pakistan make it big here. This is a big booster for those who get stuck int he rut here and don't pick their heads up to try their luck at business instead remains slaves to someone or the other. Capitalism has its benefits!

    I'm very impressed by your business and idea. Hope you can give us a try. I'm a ceramic producer from Hong Kong, China. We can make quality ceramic containers at reasonably price. Could you tell me the email and contact person of your company so I can send them an offer.

    Thanks
