Merchant Spotlight: Edible Arrangements

What do you get for the person who has everything? How about a bouquet of fresh fruit, every last bit of it edible? That’s exactly what you can get at Edible Arrangements. The downtown Cranford branch of this popular franchise offers people the ability to place orders in person, over the phone, or online. The store offers over a hundred arrangement options so people can find the perfect gift for any occasion.

Owners Darpesh and Priti Patel started off as believers in the idea of Edible Arrangements – i.e. providing people with a healthy and unique gift option. In the time their store has been open they’ve seen how much people appreciate receiving a fresh fruit bouquet, and the smiles it brings to people’s faces. This holiday season the most popular option is the Reindeer Sleigh Ride, which contains fresh fruit, including chocolate covered pineapple, in a ceramic sleigh. The holiday season is one of their busiest times, along with Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.

Around this time of year businesses also turn to Edible Arrangements for employee gifts or catering for holiday parties. Platters of chocolate covered strawberries are especially popular. Darpesh and Priti offers businesses 10% off a corporate account, and for a limited time are also offering $50 off an order of $300 or more. Really, what employee or client wouldn't be awed by a huge platter of delicious chocolate covered strawberries?

If you’re not looking for a gift but are just craving fresh fruit, the Cranford location also offers Edible to Go. The Edible to Go menu has fresh juice, smoothies, fruit salad, chocolate dipped fruit, as well as a customer favorite, the fresh fruit sundae. The “Frusundae” is fresh fruit covered with hot fudge, whipped cream, and nuts. It’s tasty enough that children don’t even notice that the ice cream has been replaced with fruit.

No matter what occasion you’re celebrating, whether it’s a birthday, new baby, anniversary, or “just because,” Edible Arrangements has something that will fit your needs. Darpesh and Priti take care to offer the one-on-one customer service you would expect from any small business, so stop by and see how they can help you out.
