FruitFlowers had its beginnings in the kitchens of Ellen Davis and Susan Ellman nearly 25 years ago. Back then, our fresh floral fruit arrangements were available only in the Philadelphia area. Today, we have a nationwide chain of franchised locations. The corporate office is still located in Broomall, Pennsylvania, just west of Philadelphia, and is known by the original name, Incredibly Edible Delites®.
Co-owned by Barbara Bolton and Annette Boyd, Lancaster FruitFlowers opened its’ doors on January 19, 2004. The store is located at 2829 Lincoln Highway East in Ronks, Pennsylvania, just a short distance east of downtown Lancaster. While neither had planned on owning and operating a FruitFlowers franchise, they sort of “fell” into it! It all began when Barbara purchased one of the hugely popular “Berry Special Someone” arrangements for her husband for Valentine’s Day in 2003. He was overwhelmed with the gift when it was delivered to his office! A few months later, Annette’s husband purchased the Fruit and Fudge as an anniversary gift for her and she was equally impressed. Noticing that there were franchise territories available, they began investigating. Believing that any successful business requires God’s guidance and blessing, the two friends prayed earnestly about their decision. And, to make a long story short, they soon became business partners and Lancaster FruitFlowers was created.
