A yummy arrangement

Edible Arrangements, a company that makes flowers out of fruit, has come to the Towne Center Plaza on outer Arsenal Street.

Co-owners Sandra J. Hill and Brent A. Lowell told me the bouquets sell well because they’re beautiful, healthy and run about the same prices as floral arrangements.

“People really enjoy the product,” Ms. Hill said. “The response when people get an arrangement is, ‘Oh, my God! It’s amazing!’”

She said that the company grew 31 percent over the last year – in the recession –and the Watertown location is the 936th franchise for a company that started in 1999.

When I went in, there were a few arrangements in the cooler out front and staff were dipping fruit in chocolate in the back.

Note: There are two other spaces that it looks like plaza owner COR Development is prepping for new businesses. I’m hoping to hear back soon on what will be moving in.
