We get it. Opening a new business is difficult. That is why we are here to provide you with over 25 years of combined experience! As you are considering a franchise for yourself, you can be assured that you will be recieving the most up to date, real time knowledge. We have created, designed, customized, wrapped, marketed and delivered gift baskets through running our own OBB franchises. "We have been there!"

Here are a few first-hand accounts on other franchisee's experience:

"As a mother I wanted to find a job that gave me the option to be at home and raise my children. My husband suggested that I do something that utilized my creative side, so he mentioned a friend's wife that owned a Franchise in the gift giving industry: The Original Basket Boutique.

I immediately researched on the internet and contacted head office and was very welcome to the possibility of owning my own franchise in St. Albert. With no experience in owning a business I was put at ease with all my questions and concerns answered by Pat and Zora. They walked me through the purchase of the Franchise. Pat and Zora gave me the resources and tools to operate the business and the most important of all the confidence that I needed to market and operate the franchise to make it a success. And still to this day when I have a concern on how to approach any obstacle I feel confident that Pat, Zora and other franchise owners are there to help me out as I would do the same for them. This has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life and look forward to being with The Original Basket Boutique for many years to come."

"The best part of being an OBB franchise is the unsurpassed support and encouragement we receive from Head office. No challenge is too hard for them. They’re patient to all our questions, needs, dilemmas and concerns and offer quick responses and solutions. The sense of working as a team makes it easier to reach the success we want. It all begins at the initial stages from buying the franchise, the training and the ongoing support. Each step connects us more to Head office and we work as one entity rather than alone. It’s by far one of the greatest business experiences we’ve had!"

"Not only was it extremely motivating, it was informative and fun. I enjoyed the balance between the "paper work" and the creative, as well as the hands on approach to learning. I arrived feeling overwhelmed and left feeling prepared, excited, and armed with the tools needed to be successful!"

"We are proud to be a part of the OBB franchise network. Although our franchise is located in a small city, with the support of the well-developed franchise system, our business has grown beyond our expectations.  We recommend taking a serious look at the OBB system to anyone seeking an opportunity in the gifting industry. It has satisfied both our financial goals and our entrepreneurial spirit."
