If you are looking for information on the Frutation franchise business opportunity, Frutation franchises or Frutation franchising, then you have come to the right place.
Frutation is the place where a splash of fruity flavor meets common sense. When the finest fruit in the world meets your taste buds and all your expectations. Where you can go for something smart, on the go.
The Frutation menu includes a variety of choices that are made fresh, right in front of the customer, such as our Fruithy™ (fruit smoothies), fresh fruit juices, fruit salads, Frusala™ (spiced fruit salads), fruit sundaes and a variety of dipped fruit. All products are made from fresh fruit, gourmet chocolate and other all-natural ingredients.
Frutation is brought to you by Edible Arrangements, which means our fruit is the finest available. You can even order a fresh fruit bouquet and have it delivered right to your door. Now that's refreshing.
Although the Frutation™ concept is a new twist to the fast-growing fresh fruit smoothie/juice industry, we are not new to franchising. The same team that created the Edible Arrangements® franchise also created Frutation™. Edible Arrangements has over 600 stores worldwide and was recently ranked 4th out of America's 500 fastest growing private companies by Inc. Magazine. These same experienced franchise experts have created another unique franchise concept that will help your consumers live healthier lifestyles.
Whether you're interested in being an on-site owner for just one Frutation™ station or if you want to own many, we have a franchise solution that will fit your management skills and investment funds. If you're looking for a fresh new idea, then Frutation may be just the franchise you've been looking for - let the fruit set you free!
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
