Fort Bragg Location Scheduled to Open in November

October 15, 2014 // Franchising.com // Wallingford, CT - Edible Arrangements will open its first store ever on a United States military base later this year at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

Franchisees Laverna and Martinez Alexander are scheduled to open the location in November. With a population of over 50,000, Fort Bragg provides services to more than 250,000 soldiers, retirees, family members and civilians. The base is also home to the 82nd Airborne.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for Edible Arrangements to provide fresh, healthy and delicious fruit products direct to the men and women of our military and their families," said Edible Arrangements’ founder and CEO, Tariq Farid. "It was made possible thanks to the exhaustive efforts of Laverna and Martinez. Fort Bragg is the largest military base in the U.S. in terms of population, and we are honored to be one of a select few to be able to operate there."
