Posted on May 20th, 2008 by Will Work for Cheesecake!!!

If you think that you can’t turn fruits into flower then you’re wrong. A company called Edible Arrangements has been doing it for a few years now. The price for these fruit basket range from $50 to $159 depending on the types and sizes you order. Who would have thought that making a fruit basket could be a big business?

Who Is Behind Edible Arrangements
Tariq Farid, 39 and his brother Kamran, 29 came up with an idea of selling fruits like a flower but edible. The concept is very simple but very profitable. Edible Arrangements is growing rapidly if you’re reading the company overview. The company currently have 829 stores worldwide according to the website. Are you thinking of becoming a franchise owner?

When I went to Jacksonville Beach, I saw a store call Edible Arrangement. I was wondering what it is; now I know. I didn’t see a lot of customers going into the store. I think the problem could be location.

Should I Become A Franchise Owner?
Do you remember Krispy Kreme? Krispy Kreme was growing rapidly and it stock went as high as 48 dollars a share. There were a lot of people who thought I should get in on the growth and become a franchise owner. If you have that mindset, then you can be disappointed. The people that became Krispy Kreme franchise owner probably would be disappointed now. I am not saying that you shouldn’t become an Edible Arrangements franchise owner; I am saying that you should be caution.

Final Thought
The Company is growing way too fast I think; and the reason might be that people think it is a good business to get into.  I like the business model, and I think the company can be the next Starbucks. I still think people should be caution before becoming a franchise owner. What it is going to come down to will be location, location, location.
