I love watching the rankings come out every year!

I discovered The Original Basket Boutique through complete serendipity.  In the early months of 2007 I was flipping through the Entrepreneur magazine looking at businesses.  I had this idea that I wanted to do something to promote Nashville and the Music City Brand.  I wasn’t exactly sure how I could do that, but I knew I needed to do it part time and within a company that could respect the responsibilities of family.

As luck or maybe fate would have it I spent the summers of 2005 and 2006 giving ghost tours and in doing so met amazing people from all over the country and the world, most of whom would ask me after the tour where they could find some local treats to take home.  A few nights of research and I had a list of not only candy, but nut mixes, sauces, cakes and just about anything you could want made if not in Nashville right here in Tennessee that I could share with my guests.

So back to the winter of 2007 when I’m researching business ideas and found OBB ranked at #494 in the Franchise 500 Rank.  It was in my price range and really peaked my interest… but it wasn’t two days and my good friend Sarah Beth was calling me to tell me about a great business opportunity her friend in Florida was thriving with… OBB!

So here we are 3 years later!  I’m promoting TN products and the art of giving with custom gift baskets and The Original Basket Boutique is ranked #369 in the Franchise 500 Rank!!!
