The Milford store is the second location for Irfan Farid, who began a similar company with his brothers in 1999. Mr. Farid started running his family’s flower shop in East Haven as a teenager. 

The family business flourished and they were able to opened a second successful store. The Farids eventually decided to add fresh fruit cut and arranged to resemble floral bouquets to their floral business.

The fruit arrangements took off and Irfan Farid was instrumental in the success of this new family business, creating the fruit arrangement designs. Irfan also opened and managed many successful locations of their fruit arrangement business across CT. This business thrived and the Farids created a demand for fresh cut fruit arrangements. 

Irfan decided to venture out on his own in 2008 and after considering many different business ideas decided to return to where his heart was, fruit. He bought a dilapidated multi-family home on Dixwell Avenue in Hamden and renovated it, turning the first floor apartment into the original Fruit Occasions store. After two years of success Mr. Farid has decided to open a second location in Milford. 

Folks familiar with Fruit Occasions enjoy the natural fruit smoothies, chocolate covered fruit gift boxes, fruit arrangements and all the other great products that are made with the highest quality for the most unbeatable prices. 

This Saturday, July 26, 9:00 am – 5:30 pm is a chance to show Milford locals the wonderful array of fruits products Fruit Occasions has to offer. For more information contact Jennifer Griffis at 203-691-1111 or 203-572-3933 (cell) or at Fruitfultreats@gmail.com.
