It seems that things just keep getting sweeter for Edible Arrangements in 2016 as we recently learned that Edible Arrangements has been named to the Franchise Times annual Top 200+ list.

I’m always very grateful when the Edible Arrangements family is recognized by a leading industry publication such as Franchise Times. It is yet another testament to the incredible dedication and passion of our franchisees and the corporate team.

I’m excited about the future for Edible Arrangements. We have already announced some incredible additions to our product lines and to the look of our stores, and with our unbelievable franchisees and our great corporate team, the sky truly is the limit!

IFA Convention Logo 2016

The past weekend was a very special one for several reasons.

First, I was privileged to take my place as part of the International Franchise Association (IFA) board of directors at the organization’s annual convention in San Antonio.

As I have said many times, it is the franchise model that has allowed Edible Arrangements to become a global icon while, at the same time, creating opportunities for our many franchisees to become owners of their own businesses and pursue the American Dream.
