Edible Arrangements Recognized as a Top Franchise by Entrepreneur and Forbes

July 06, 2016 // Franchising.com // WALLINGFORD, Conn. - Things are getting sweeter for Edible Arrangements® -- the global leader in fresh fruit arrangements was recently named to Entrepreneur magazine’s Top Global Franchise List for 2016 and ranked as one of Forbes’ America’s best franchises to invest in.

“What a great honor it is to be named as a top franchise by both Entrepreneur and Forbes,” said Tariq Farid, founder and CEO of Edible Arrangements®. “This is a testament to the extremely hard work of our staff and franchisees who are committed to making great products for our customers every day. I am so thankful for all they do.”

Edible Arrangements® received its Entrepreneur ranking while competing with hundreds of brands, all ranked on the same set of qualifications. The continued progression of Edible Arrangements®  franchises and the strength of the brand were key factors in landing on top. Top Global Franchise candidates must be seeking new franchises outside the United States, with a minimum of five open international locations. Edible Arrangements® 2016 Franchise 500 score was also factored into the rating. This includes objective, quantifiable criteria including franchise size, growth, financial strength, and stability. Scores were adjusted to give extra weight to franchise’s international size and growth as well.

Similarly, Edible Arrangements® earned a top spot from Forbes as one of the best franchises to invest in. Forbes notes that the top brands support franchisees with creative marketing, innovative products, and strong overall brands, something Edible Arrangements® is proud to offer to franchisees. Edible Arrangements® also stood out as a great franchise investment based on economy franchise opportunities, entry costs, five-year growth rates and five-year continuity rates, among other factors.
