Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Edible Arrangements's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 25% of food and beverage franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (372 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against food and beverage brands that do disclose one.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

How much does a Edible Arrangements franchise cost?

Edible Arrangements' most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $214K–$587K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $20,000, and is included in that range.

What royalty does Edible Arrangements charge?

Edible Arrangements charges a continuing royalty of 5% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

How many Edible Arrangements locations closed?

In its most recent reported year (2025), Edible Arrangements opened 6, closed 0, terminated 114 franchised outlets, ending the year with 1176. Averaged over three years, 12.4% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.

Facts on this page are sourced from Edible Arrangements' Franchise Disclosure Document.

Item 5 fee is $30,000 standard; $20,000 for qualifying veterans (IFA VetFran); $10,000 training fee for those acquiring an existing franchise. Item 6 royalty/marketing figures also include an EDIBLE.COM online-order program fee of up to 30% of order value (currently 14% for website orders, 20% for call-center orders) not folded into the brand fund figure above. Item 12 references a 'Delivery Area' concept but full territory-protection language was not in the excerpt. Item 17 states post-termination non-compete restrictions apply per the franchise agreement's Exhibit B, but the specific term/radius were not captured. Items 19 and 20 were not present in the returned content.
