Edible Arrangements Moving Headquarters Out Of Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — Edible Arrangements will close its headquarters in Wallingford and relocate to Atlanta, Georgia, by the end of the year, CEO Mike Rotondo announced on Tuesday. The company says it will maintain a small office in Wallingford with about 20 people.

Edible Arrangements opened an Atlanta office as a “second” headquarters in March 2018 to “take advantage of the more centralized location, access to major transportation hubs and other resources for many of the services that were previously handled out of Wallingford,” according to a news release. The company employs approximately 130 workers in Wallingford. The company aims to complete the relocation by the end of 2018. To sign up for Wallingford breaking news alerts and more, click here.

“We are excited to make Atlanta the brand's home base as we build a best in class Support Center for our franchise owners," Rotondo said in a statement. “Edible’s Wallingford, CT office is an important part of the brand’s history and heritage, and we will always have a presence in the community. At the same time, the global marketplace is changing at a rapid pace and Atlanta is an attractive location to base much of the team needed to support the company's next phase of growth.”

The company said it will issue a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) to the extent it is required by law.

The company’s metro Atlanta office is in the Lakeside Commons buildings in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The space will serve as the base of operations for the company’s franchise operations.
