About Candy Bouquet:In the late 1990s, Margaret McEntire was finding it difficult to find the time to make her innovative candy bouquets from her garage in her home town of Houston, Texas. She opened a tiny 90-square foot shop and her family supported her in the arranging of her candy bouquets.

She remembered what her husband had said in relation to her business- “If you get greedy in anything in life, you lose”, so Margaret decided to give her candy bouquets away free of charge.This created a wealth of enthusiasm from restaurants, businesses and individual customers who received her free candy bouquets and soon enough her Candy Bouquet franchise was born!

Now Margaret has an extensive franchise team, with over 815 franchises operating within 40 different countries. Shanna Allred is just one of the many who became inspired by Margaret’s unique business concept and motivation for success.

You can take the plunge and make a real difference like Shanna Allred did…
