ATLANTA, GA —&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.edible.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=edible-wraps-up-a-fruitful-year-looks-ahead-to-an-innovative-2025-2728207" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Edible®</a>, the premier gifting franchise, is proud to celebrate its 25th anniversary with another banner year as the brand wraps up 2024 with significant milestones and looks ahead to an exciting 2025 filled with innovation, expansion and the launch of a new family of brands.“This has been a pivotal year for Edible,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/markmele/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=edible-wraps-up-a-fruitful-year-looks-ahead-to-an-innovative-2025-2728207" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mark Mele</a>, chief development officer. “From robust franchise growth to transformative store renovations, we’ve solidified our place as a leader in the gifting industry while laying the foundation for an even brighter future.”Edible is set to close 2024 with over 50 agreements signed for existing locations, building on the 61 agreements executed last year. The brand’s resale program has played a key role, providing an opportunity to refresh and remodel legacy stores to meet Edible’s NextGen store standards.“A mature brand like ours thrives on reinvention,” Mele said. “We’ve seen a wave of franchise renewals this year, with many legacy stores undergoing significant updates. By year’s end, all Edible stores will either have completed or begun construction for a remodel or refresh.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/edible/edible-introduces-the-next-generation-of-celebration-gifting-2725651">Edible’s forth-coming NextGen store concept</a> combines cutting-edge technology with a consumer-centric design, blending the convenience of e-commerce with an inviting in-store experience. Two flagship NextGen locations are currently under construction in Atlanta, Georgia, and North Haven, Connecticut, set to open in 2025.Notably, Edible has purchased real estate in Atlanta not only for its NextGen store but also for its new Innovation and Training Center. This facility will serve as a hub for franchisee education, product development and operational excellence.“Our NextGen stores are game-changers,” Mele said. “They’re designed to elevate both the customer experience and store revenue, enabling us to meet the evolving demands of the modern retail landscape.” This year also marked a major leadership milestone for Edible with the appointment of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/somiafarid?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=edible-wraps-up-a-fruitful-year-looks-ahead-to-an-innovative-2025-2728207" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Somia Farid Silber</a> as chief executive officer.
