Candy Bouquet FAQs
How does Candy Bouquet International support the franchisees?
Candy Bouquet International, Inc., provides the tools you will need and trains you in the techniques that make your franchise so unique. In fact, if you are awarded a Candy Bouquet franchise, you can count on full support from the corporate office right from the beginning through your development of a growing and thriving business of your own. We have an exclusive VIP site, available to our franchisees only, where they can order supplies online, download helpful material both essential and supplemental. Two additional correspondence classes that we pay our franchisees to take (Elite Certification and Advanced Certification) and much more.

Training for Candy Bouquet takes place in Little Rock, Arkansas. The sessions begin on Monday morning and end Friday afternoon. Each franchisee has the opportunity to familiarize themselves with CBI's Distribution Center and purchase from over 2,000 gourmet and specialty items in stock.
You can learn how to make a Candy Bouquet, even if you are not artistic!
Everyone can learn, with the exception of extreme physical limitations. You do not have to be artistic. Making a Candy Bouquet is similar to playing the piano or learning a foreign language in that you have to become familiar with the basics before you can tackle the more complex designs.
No Royalty Fees!
