Lewis Miller Flower Flash on West End Ave - I Love the Upper West Side

Florist Lewis Miller strikes again! A pay phone on the corner of 100th and West End was overflowing with flowers today.

Some Upper West Side locations have included the statue of bears in Central Park, Straus Park, the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial at the 72nd Street Riverside Park entrance, and a trash can on 73rd and West End.Miller states his vision and purpose on his website:What initially began as an LMD experiment to reinvigorate and reconnect us to our craft, turned into a beautiful shared experience in a city of millions.

Royer's Flowers and Gifts CEO talks about returning to the family business - Reading Eagle

Royer now oversees a company that has 19 locations in Pennsylvania and Ohio and 400 employees. Royer believes Royer's is the largest family-owned florist in the country and sells more flowers than anyone outside of supermarkets.Business Weekly: Did you always plan to get involved in the family business? Thomas Royer: "No, because I had a career in it before I went to college. I worked there so much, and I wanted to try different things. I did that, and you always hear the old adage 'the grass is always greener.' After two years, I was like, 'I'm going back to the flower business,' because the restaurant business was crazy. I could've gone into other businesses, but I always liked the retail industry. So I came back in like 1980, and I've been here ever since."BW: Why did you decide to come back to Royer's? TR: "When I got out of school I lived in Houston and I was in the restaurant business. I always thought that working here was long hours. There was no comparison when I lived in Texas; we were working 100-hour weeks. That's when the oil boom was going on, and Houston was growing by leaps and bounds so there wasn't enough people for all the jobs and we couldn't keep people at our restaurant. It fell back on the manager and assistant manager to open and close."BW: Valentine's Day is just around the corner. How much business does Royer's do this time of year? TR: "Dollar wise, we do more sales at Valentine's Day than any other time. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the two big ones. The thing about Valentine's Day is it's such a short timeframe because most people don't want to buy it too far ahead of time. We do so much business in three days. The 12th, 13th and 14th are the three busiest days of the year for us, and we do about 8 percent of our business on those three days. Mother's Day, we do the same number of units of arrangements and plants, it's just that our dollars in sales aren't as high, because on Valentine's Day, the rose is king, and roses are expensive. It's gotten to the point where it's so large that it can h... https://www.readingeagle.com/business-weekly/article/royers-flowers-and-gifts-ceo-talks-about-returning-to-the-family-business

Pine River's flower shop has new owners, changes name, remains in family - Brainerd Dispatch

Street in Pine River have been in the same family. That did not change with new owners Mike and Sue Sherwood, who renamed the business Sherwood Florist in honor of that familial connection. Mike is descended from the "S" side of G&S Plants, the business' former name. His Aunt Sue Stephan started the company with her husband, Gary, in 1979. Next door to G&S at the time was property owned by Sue's brother, Jim Sherwood, then called Northern Pines Garden Center. Back then, Mike worked for his aunt. It was around 1984 that current employee Danelle Johnson began working there. "Sue was my original employer," Johnson said. "Then when she passed away, Jim and his partner, Curt (Lindelof), took over. Now it's Mike and Sue." When Jim and Curt took over, they combined the two properties, eventually moving all of their shrubs and nursery plants to The Treehouse in Pequot Lakes. Under Mike and Sue, shrubs and other items may make a return. ... https://www.brainerddispatch.com/business/4578643-pine-rivers-flower-shop-has-new-owners-changes-name-remains-family

Carolyn Hax: Married mom freaks out when a stranger sends her 2 dozen roses - NJ.com

And yes, just the one incident would be creepy enough for me to feel uncomfortable.So go back to the florist and insist. If that fails, go back to the police. Say you need the report. Take names. Bring your husband if you must, though that's enraging right there. Next step, attorney.Anyone who thinks this is an overreaction needs to recall the power of being creeped out. And it's just a report, just so you can get a name. If it's harmless, then everyone moves on. Re: Flowers:A police report is just a piece of paper that will take them five minutes to fill out. Don't take no for an answer.-- Anon 1Re: Flowers:The flowers WERE signed. Freaked just couldn’t figure out who it was. A one-time unwanted gift from a thought-he-had-identified-himself person does not a stalker make.-- Anon 2Carolyn:This is the same mistake the police made. The recipient feels unsettled, that is real, and is asking for more information so that her response can be an informed one. That’s it. No one has enough information.I made the point very clearly, stalking is "the sum of incidents" like this. Sum of. More than one. But she has a right to honor her unease even for one bouquet and the right to learn who sent it. She has the right to get some sleep.Re: Flowers:I would tell the florist they are not covered by florist-client privilege and unless they tell me who it is, I am going on Yelp and Facebook and every other social media outlet to explain how this florist entity facilitates stalking.-- Anon 3Carolyn:Florist-client privilege.
