Nothing is Sweet about Candy Bouquet!

If Candy Bouquet International has been around since 1989, why don't they have a standardized POS (point of sale) system for their franchisees?

They claim to spend millions on building their brand - but did you know that the name "Candy Bouquet" can be used by anyone! The trademark office denied their claim to the name  - not once but twice! The only trademarks they own are their logo and a few slogans! The millions they spend is on selling more franchises seeing how the average life of a franchise is only estimated at 2.5 years! The attrition rate is also estimated at 60-70%! So many of the franchisees listed on the candybouquet.com locator are homebased businesses for which they work a real job because the Candy Bouquets do NOT support themselves!

The franchisees of Candy Bouquet are so despondent with the franchisor that they set up an independent association through the AAFD early last year! (Congrats on the AAFD awards!)The franchisees I've talked to complained of carpal tunnel and numerous other physical issues from making the bouquets due to repetive motion. The equipment referred to in the offering circular does less than 2% of the work and the rest is manual labor - hence the issues previously mentioned.

The only franchisees surviving the failing trend are those who have so diversified their stores as to NOT be dependent on the actual candy bouquets they were led to believe would carry their stores! Speaking of stores, did you know that there is no fixed model for a candy bouquet store? Go into any store, none are the same - so much for branding!

Candy Bouquet collects a monthly association fee which is a guaranteed revenue stream. Since so many franchisees struggle, a royalty wouldn't be profitable, so they offer a fixed fee. And not such a low cost franchise, none of the stores I spoke with were ever able to operate within the expenses indicated on the site. In fact, most owners are unable to pay themselves a salary or are able to afford employees! 

Oh lets not forget the noncompete clause - no candy stores, floral shops and gifts stores. The franchisees claim they were never taught ANYTHING as to how to operate a floral shop or gift store. As far as candy stores are concerned, you don't need to buy a franchise for that - you can do it on your own. As for Candy Bouquet, my advice? Buy a video!

Candy Bouquet International

Candy Bouquet International has canceled convention 2010 due to lack of franchisee interest/attendance. Margaret Mcentire stated they will now have a meet and greet for those who still want to fly in and they also may attend re-training FREE if they like. What a waste of an airline ticket and three night stay. JMHO

FRANCHISE

This is all great information. I was considering adding the candy franchise to my flower shop. But this information has given me second thoughts. Could you do the candy bouquets on your own or did you need the franchise?
Thanks for your reponse.
Pat

re; Franchise

Yes you can do it on your own!!!! No need to have a franchise!
You can even call them Candy Bouquets!!!
I could give you at least 1000 reasons why you should not buy in!
READ more of this blog!!!!!!
Save your money!

RE; Re-training!

C'mon folks, it's not Rocket science... Besides,
Have you seen Candy Bouquets e-mail pictured bouquet for Valentine's?
WHERE'S THE CANDY!!!! Looks more like a silk flower and Cello Bouquet!
Way to go CBI Training and product development department AKA; Mary Jane!

Re: ReTraining

I agree about the valentine bouquet. All I saw was silks and cello. I wonder what the price is for silks and cello? It is hard enough to sell these arrangements with candy let alone silks and cello. Do you really need to be trained to do that?

Re: Candy Bouquet International

Well gee whiz!! Maybe, just maybe now, her and the FAC can do a webinar. I know Jackieboy was so excited about doing his presentation. But oh wait, without Bobby and Jason, no one at corporate knows how to do a real webinar! LOL! For those who are going for the meet and greet, I'm sure you will be buying your own drinks! Have fun! What a waste!

Re: Cancelled Convention

There are so many things to say here. I think lack of interest speaks for itself!
Just 1 question, Does this mean no one gets a discount on outdated merchandise from the warehouse now????

http://www.FranchiseFactsUSA.com

Margaret or whoever you want to be...seems you don't know Margaret very well since she fails to survey and will comment that the franchisees asked for or wanted what she is saying. MM's last survey for franchisees failed to gather many results from franchisees as many fear retaliation. Oddly enough the last survey the association sent out gathered more responses than corporates. If you are MM you wouldn't know what you say or ask as things just have a way of rambling out of that mouth of yours.

Margaret Mcentire had no

Margaret Mcentire had no intention of living up to her Oct 16, 2009 PROMISE all franchisees would enjoy receiving the discount. This action just once again proves she does not speak the truth to her franchisees. JMHO

Speaking of surveys

Speaking of surveys ............. has anyone received the survey the advisory board was to conduct?

Surveys

Ok, so I made the comment about the survey being a waste of time and contrary to popular belief my name is not Margaret. I'm not near any snow at the moment! We'll see what comes out when and if results are published - it wouldn't have hurt to see the results so far when you submitted your answers!

However, I did look at the results everyone is talking about in the book published online. The survey results are based on just 14 responses! I'm sorry but no-one can call that representative of the franchise community! I don't know when the book was published but there must have been hundreds more franchises than there are now according to your store closure figures so 14 responses is just a tiny percentage of the community. I'm sorry but you can't base anything on these results...

The number of responses is

The number of responses is not important. It's what the responses say and if they have changed or remained the same as current franchisees.

Survey Results

Probably only 14 Zees, that can still afford
to own a computer,,,,,,

Re: Survey Results

And probably the only 14 operating zees with working phone numbers and email that were listed on the cbi locator at that time. We all know how cbi loves to fluff their numbers! LOL!

Thanks to whoever pointed us to this survey!

And Margaret Mcentire flaps her jaws again about convention sale

Again Margaret Mcentire flaps’ her jaws, spewing once again about the Candy Bouquet International convention discount PROMISED in her Tasty Tips Oct 16th 2009 issue. Franchisees have questioned her about the promised sale being for everyone since it's only for attendees currently. Margaret responds to their questions; yes there will be a sale for everyone, but the franchisees attending convention will get the first discount.

Just what does that mean? Are they going to run out items for the sale or sell everything they have in distro?

Margaret continues on to say that every year they have given discounts to those attendees and she PROMISED this year to give them to all franchisees and will, but it is only fair that the franchisees going (many are driving in to take their supplies back) have first shot at all of our sales.

Just what is the purpose of this double talk?? What it merely is to show the franchisees is Margaret is boss, you know Margaret is in-charge of the discount, just like a carrot does to a mule. Get over yourself Margaret, we are not mules, it just shows clearly the abusive relationship you have with your franchisees.

Just love it when you show yourself this way Margaret you certainly know how to show your true colors concerning your zor-zee relationship. Too bad Jason and Gina are no longer there to correct her in the ways of what she says to her franchisees.

Laughing all the way to the end of my contract:)

Re: Franchise Facts Survey

Don't expect any results! You enter all your responses and then at the end you are just dumped back at the homepage. It says they will e-mail results "when they are ready" but when will that be?
Seems a bit of a waste of time...

You are right Margaret Mcentire it's a waste of time for you.

Oh yes Margaret you would say it's a waste of time since you are running scared from the TRUTH. Did you every read the survey results that tells the truth about CBI that has already been exposed? Does anyone recall the books name that has that information? It's online also for easy access.

Margaret better call all you FAC's and make sure they respond as I'm sure Thunder "aka" Heather and Jack will be quick to respond to the survey if you ask them to. Maybe you should even post the link on your website since you feel you have nothing to hide.

Just telling the TRUTH!

Re: Franchise Facts Survey

A waste of time? In order to compile the information to produce the results will take more then just a handful of zees to take the survey. Everything takes time, just have patience. I've heard the last couple of surveys that CBI & the ACBF have done were not favorable towards CBI, so I'm guessing this one will be the same. The good thing is that in due time it will be publicized.

As the old saying goes ~ patience is a virtue! All comes around in due time!

I recently came across this discussion and noted the concern some of you have about the survey.


As the poster mentioned, it does take time to compile sufficent responses so that we can produce a quality report.  And that is exactly what we will be doing.  As some of you noted, we have gone out of our way to ask questions about all areas of the franchising business.


If Candy Bouquet has a franchisee association and they wish to get more meaningful information sooner, one option is to work with us by getting more participation from your franchise network.


By end of February, we expect to have available details on this program for any franchisee association seeking information.  This information will be posted on our web site.

Just took the survey for Candy Bouquet

Thank you for posting this information! Just took the survey and it includes all USA, Canada, along with International Franchisees. From looking at the name of the site was not sure if it would include everyone but it sure does. It includes some very good questions and took about 10 minutes to complete.

CBI Homepage Change!

Anyone notice that Candy Bouquet has changed their Homepage to say "Hundreds of Locations" rather than a specific Number. Guess even they don't know how many actual locations there are, can't keep up with the closure rate, and are tired of being called on it. Although, there may be "Hundreds of contracts" I seriously doubt there are Hundreds of locations!!! Again, Don't be fooled!
THANKS BluMauMau!

Don't be too quick to applaud

Don't be too quick to applaud they merely changed the top (franchise information) to read; "Join hundreds of stores on every continent!"

Guess you forgot to look at the very bottom of the homepage it still reads:

"To date, Candy Bouquet International, Inc. has over 815 franchises worldwide. Representing all 50 states, 40 countries, and the territories of Puerto Rico and Guam. More retail and home based franchise opportunities are available."

Looking at the locator disproves Candy Bouquet Internationals own statement of; "Representing all 50 states, 40 countries, and the territories of Puerto Rico and Guam.

The US does not have franchises in all 50 states nor are there 40 countries listed.

Continents

It continues to amaze me when Margaret McEntire states there are franchises on ALL continents. Does she even know that Antarctica is a continent? If someone knows the franchise number of the one on Antarctica please let me know and I will apologize to Margaret.
Thank-you

Re: Continents

Well now if the iceberg that broke off from Antarctica made its way to Australia without melting, then in Margaret McEntire's world of thinking, there is a franchise on every continent! LOL!

Wow missing three states in US and only 27 countries

Wow missing three states in US and only 27 countries looks like Candy Bouquet International homepage is not telling the truth nor Margaret Mcentire with her comments in the INC.

Margaret Mcentire spews on CBI in upcoming sponsored ad with INC

In sponsored ad with INC Margaret Mcentire spews on Candy Bouquet International growth. Candy Bouquet has 577 franchised locations and in 2010 plans to add 150 to 175, including a number of international expansions. McEntire expects candy arrangements to exert considerable cross-cultural appeal. "We're one of the fastest growing international franchises there is," she says.

Now where has it been proven Candy Bouquet International is one of the fastest growing international franchises there is? Is it so just because Margaret Mcentire says so? There is also the claim there are 577 franchised locations. Why does her homepage claim 815? Viewing the bottom of cbi homepage it says; To date, Candy Bouquet International, Inc. has over 815 franchises worldwide. Representing all 50 states, 40 countries, and the territories of Puerto Rico and Guam. More retail and home based franchise opportunities are available. Now check the locator is this a true statement?

The entire spew may be located at http://www.inc.com/partners/franchise/20100201.html

Locations

I would challenge anyone to find even 100 Actual retail locations of this franchise! (not zip code contracts ) Actual brick and mortar locations....

Does anyone do fact checks on

Does anyone do fact checks on info they are given for magazine articles? These supposedly reputable magazines are on better than the smutty ones.

RE: Fact Checks

It sure dosen't seem like it. Worse yet, Does Margaret Mcentire do fact checks before she spews out these facts!
Says alot about ones character for sure. Anyone knows, these facts are incorrect and so easily checked!

Fact check this comment and you will find it's true

Still waiting for Margaret Mcentire's promised sale as stated by her in the Oct 16, 2009 tasty tip a convention sale that includes all franchisees.

Margaret has a hard time telling the truth poor thing it's always someone elses fault...never hers. She can spew all she likes but lacks the ability to come through on those spews. When will the advisory council figure this out?

Candy Bouquet International lost 6 more US franchises yesterday

Candy Bouquet International lost 6 US franchises since yesterday morning! Most franchisees if they make it past the New Year stay open thru Valentine's Day. But not this year the franchise has lost tons of franchises unable to hold on any longer.

One who thinks franchisees will lack the money to show up to Candy Bouquet International convention. Wondering if Margaret will keep her promise to her franchisees that all franchisees were to be included in the convention sale.

Margaret Mcentire why do you have such a hard time telling the truth to your franchisees? Margaret Mcentire please explain why you have such a diffilcult time keeping your word to your franchisees? You did publish the tasty tips October 16, 2009 that says the sale will be for all franchisees or did I read that incorrectly? Didn't the tasty tip say that?!?!

About Delightful Bouquet

Just curious why everyone is posting under this thread to bash Delightful Bouquet?

I don't know anything about this company, nor do I know any CBI zees past or present who are endorsing it however,
This thread is about Candy Bouquet International and the aleged damage they have done to many people, and In my opinion we should not confuse the two.

I suggest starting a new thread for Delightful Bouquets if you feel it is necessary.... Just my thoughts on the issue.

Re; About Delightful Bouquet

Don't think it is bashing, just merely asking questions and adding one's opinion from the information that was found. A past zee came onto this thread endorsing this venture. As a curious zee wanted to know more about this business opportunity and a few red flags were found. Is it just a copycat or is it really better? My guess is that the past zee blurted out the information much too soon.

You are correct, this thread is about exposing Candy Bouquet for what it is. We will see if Delightful Bouquet ends up with its own thread soon.

Candy Bouquet International only has 346 actual franchisees

Candy Bouquet International only has 346 actual franchisees currently listed on the franchisor locator. While numerous multi contracts are listed there are really only 346 actual franchisees. Why does it appear there are many more you ask? The reason Candy Bouquet inflates their numbers by including each and every contract signed by one franchisee.

Examples would be when viewing California listings: you will notice 39 listings but look closer as 22 are duplicate listing (have the same information.)

Berkeley CA, CBI 4590 & 4591 jackrca@sbcglobal.net (510)704-0714 - this shows two stores with the same information.
Atascadero CA, CBI 3611 & 3612 candybouquet3610@sbcglobal.net (805) 466-1206 - this shows two stores with the same information.

info@itsCandyBouquet.com (866) 753-7838 listed for CBI 3905 & 3906 - this shows two stores with the same information.

ejiscornershop@sbcglobal.net (909) 231-7143 CBI 5475 & 5476 - this shows two stores with the same information.

Claremont CA, CBI 3985 & 3986 candybouquet@ca.rr.com (909) 398-4078 - this shows two stores with the same information.

info@888SoYummy.com (888) So-Yummy listed for CBI's 3311, 4306, 4405, 4448, 4446, 4447, 4307, 4305, - this shows eight stores with the same information.

Torrance, CA CBI 5505 & 5506 - this shows two stores with the same information.

Santa Rosa, CA CBI 4335 & 4336 - this shows two stores with the same information.

In reality there are only eight actual locations in these 22 store listings. 39 - 14(duplicates) = 25 actual locations. The entire locator is shown that way both US and International listings!!

This makes you think the franchise is much larger than it is since there are only 346 actual franchisees but multiple contracts with the same location.

Still waiting for Candy Bouquet International

Still waiting for Candy Bouquet International to inform and include all franchisees in the convention sale as PROMISED. Currently it is listed on the cbifc the sale is only for franchisees attending convention. Margaret Mcentire stated in the October 16, 2009 tasty tips that ALL FRANCHISEES would be included in this sale. MM's statement in tasty tips did not include any preconditions merely that all franchisees would be included and she was excited to offer this sale to everyone.

Now called out on BMM earlier in the week for breaking yet another PMOMISE to her franchisees she stated on her cbifc that cbi will let franchisees know later what the convention sale is for all franchisees. That was days ago and there has been enough time to post the sale. Makes one wonder if again Margaret has spouted off about doing something and once again will fall short of her promises. History just continues to repeat itself with Margaret Mcentire. Won't take long and the advisory board will see this...beware don't question her or you will get booted off the board.

Guess one shouldn't get their hopes up as Margaret Mcentire makes many, many, many PROMISES and never DELIVERS. Much like an abusive relationship they promise to do something or be better then never keep their promise.

Certainly didn't buy into Candy Bouquet for an abusive relationship but to have a business where one could hre empoyees, make money and take a paycheck home for myself. Look at the UFDD Margaret Mcentire certainly takes a nice big six figure paycheck/salary for herself. Instead I get paid with bloomed roses I can't sell and expired candy.

Delightful Bouquet™

(1) The system is currently being prepared in a way that all concessionaires can profit with the company in a manner that Candy Bouquet International doesn't even fathom.

(2) There won't any franchises being sold, rather there will be concessions being awarded (without any royalties, commissions or initial fees).

(3) We have a permanent fully-staffed main office in Orlando, FL that is functioning at full-speed and anybody is more than welcome to come and visit to find out what is being developed. The company has all of the credentials, accreditations and associations that a 2-year-old reputable corporation could ever have.

(4) As soon as the website is completed, you will be able to see all of the information available. Meanwhile, feel free to contact us at Contact@DelightfulBouquet.com

(5) If you really believe the business is a scam (but don't have proof) wait and see until the business is ready to go and make your final decision then.

(6) It is extremely easy to make anonymous false accusations on the Internet. It is without a doubt a cowardly act.

(7) If you really think that a certain business opportunity is a scam you should file a complete, serious and proofed complaint with the appropriate authorities: http://myfloridalegal.com/Contact.nsf/Contact?OpenForm&Section=Economic_Crimes

Re: Delightful Bouquet

Thank you for the information. However, a "guest" came on here and stated "the new is coming". They said that there was a company which already acts in the franchise segment and is starting in this candy bouquet market and blasts more information including the website. Of course those of us who are curious are going to start doing some due diligence. What was found was a bunch of nothingness! To me, with no information, no trademark, no longevity in this industry, company from another country ~ not good. Not worth looking further into. One thing I did pick up on is that you said that it is a cowardly act to make anonymous false accusations on the internet - two questions then - who are you (the founder) and who is the past zee that is endorsing this "business opportunity"? As a potential prospect before signing up for any information and before any phone conversation takes place, I want to research who I may be dealing with. Also, as a candy bouquet zee (past or present) I want to know which one is endorsing this "business opportunity". You, yourself, are hiding behind your business name and the endorsing past candy bouquet zee has not come out of the closet.

Last but not least, from reading the brief description about Delightful Bouquet, it sounds too good to be true.

Just one who learned a lot from BMM and the AAFD.
