back at some of the ones we met when they were small who now have become multimillion-dollar businesses. we met pakistani immigrant tariq in 2006. we were impressed then with what he had grown, but that s nothing compared to now. today his company is a household name. edible arrangements. tariq had owned a flower shop but had a vision for a cut fruit bouquet. along with members of his family, he launched a store in connecticut. and by 2001, they opened their first franchise. within five years, they had opened nearly 400. how do i know we re not growing too fast? i don t think in business there s such a thing as growing too fast unless it gets out of control. they re now a global brand with annual revenue at almost half a billion dollars. you were one of the early people on the show here, and you had 400 franchisees. now you have 1300. 1300 stores. thank you.
