Edible Arrangements® has leased a 1,310-square-foot retail space on the ground floor of One Fountain Plaza, the recently completed 105,500-square-foot office building at Fountains at Gateway, announced developer Scott Graby, president of Hearthstone Properties. The store is slated to open in early February.

Edible Arrangements offers a wide selection of fruit bouquets, arrangements and chocolate covered fruit boxes for all occasions - from birthdays to baby showers. In addition, the Fountains store will feature a new selection of fruit smoothies, frozen yogurt and small fruit selections in convenient grab-and-go sizes that can be enjoyed at their indoor or outdoor bistro tables, or taken off-site.

According to franchisees Raza and Mo Momin, the Fountains store reflects Edible Arrangements' latest design and Edible To Go product line. "Traditionally known for special occasion arrangements, our new store will also cater to walk-in customers who want a single serving of fresh fruit on a stick - with some dipped in chocolate, if desired - or a fresh fruit smoothie," said Raza Momin.

"Fountains at Gateway is a perfect fit for Edible's new store concept," Momin continued. "We wanted to be part of a new, first-class development that would accommodate our new design and full product line, and offer a convenient location for our customers in Murfreesboro and the surrounding area. The community events and entertainment at Fountains will also support our walk-in business."

As the only Edible Arrangements store in Murfreesboro, the Momins plan to serve customers within a 30-mile radius.

"We're really delighted to welcome Edible Arrangements to Fountains at Gateway," said Graby. "The well-known brand is highly regarded for its signature fresh fruit arrangements, and we're thrilled that the Momins will be offering Edible's newest line of fresh fruit grab-and-go products, providing healthy treat options to Fountains guests and office workers. Edible Arrangements is a great fit for Fountains and Murfreesboro."
