EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS
Edible Arrangements franchises operate retail stores, primarily in strip centers, malls, and non-traditional venues, selling sculpted fresh fruit floral arrangements, chocolate-covered fruit, smoothies, salads, baked goods, gift baskets, and related products like home goods and plush toys. The business model requires franchisees to follow specific recipes, standards, and procedures, including delivery within designated areas and participation in online programs. They target the general public seeking novel, fresh, healthy gift and treat options, competing with florists, caterers, and other gift basket providers.

5% royalty (or $200/week, whichever greater) + 3.5% national marketing fund (up to 5% total marketing incl. 1.5% local) + $660-$1,300/mo technology, software, and website fees
Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 672 franchised Businesses (out of 680 franchised Businesses in operation as of December 31, 2024) are included in this financial performance representation, segmented by years open.
* Calculated weighted average gross revenue: (670 units × $538,054 + 0 units × $0 + 2 units × $555,881) / 672 total units = $538,107.06. The median gross revenue of $515,984 is taken from the segment representing 'Businesses Open 3 or More Years,' which accounts for 670 out of the 672 total units in the sample, as no overall median for all units was explicitly provided. The document explicitly states that figures do not reflect costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses to obtain net income or profit, so profit-related fields are set to null.
