WOW CELEBRATION- “WE SPREAD PEACE, ONE EDIBLE PIECE AT A TIME!” –Edible Arrangements-Poughkeepsie, NY-USA

In July, 2005, I opened the first Edible Arrangements store in the Hudson Valley. It was a small store (1050 square feet) located at 10 IBM Road in Poughkeepsie.

Ten years later we are in a beautiful new space (3500 square feet), once again introducing  Edible To Go Products to the Hudson Valley.

We deserved to celebrate 10 years in a big way and I hope you enjoyed being a part of it all!

At our event, we welcomed home, Rob Price, Corporate President of Edible Arrangements International Franchise Group (EAIFG) and Poughkeepsie native.   Mr. Price was also accompanied by Ms. Sarju Patel, Vice President of Compliance (EAIFG). Both of these honored guests tremendously enjoyed their visit to Poughkeepsie, NY.
