After 77-year run, Campus Florist to close

CORE, declined to comment.Johnston, who jokes that she’s 125 years old when asked, opened Campus Florist in 1941 after she moved to Champaign to attend the University of Illinois.It started on South Wright Street, but moved to its Green Street location a few months later for more visibility and a larger shop, according to a 2016 News-Gazette profile of Johnston during the shop's 75th anniversary.Campus Florist has survived two fires, student protesters smashing its windows and a burglary in 1997 that left Johnston in a coma for a week.Johnston, who still works every day the shop is open, said she’s been receiving lots of calls since signs went up Tuesday in the store’s windows announcing that it is closing soon.“I will miss the students. I’ll miss the faculty and the rest of the people that I know,” she said. http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2018-08-22/after-77-year-run-campus-florist-close.html

Four Floral Businesses To Receive The Century Award In Palm Springs

City Line Florist in Trumbull, Connecticut; Gould's Flowers in Lockport, New York; Janousek Florist & Greenhouse, Inc. in Omaha, Nebraska; and Lake Forest Flowers in Lake Forest, Illinois. "Each year when we gather at the SAF convention, we interact with business owners who have determination, vision and grit," said SAF Awards Committee Chairman Marvin Miller, Ph.D., AAF, of the Ball Horticultural Company in West Chicago, Illinois. "But to sustain that for 100 years or more is truly an impressive feat." City Line Florist Trumbull, Connecticut City Line Florist has been owned and operated by the Roehrich/Palazzo family since 1918. When Charles Roehrich returned home from World War I, he already had a family history in the floral industry; his grandfather had grown plants in greenhouses in Stratford, Connecticut, in the late 1800s. Charles borrowed a horse and wagon and sold flowering plants and cut flowers at the entrance of St. Michaels cemetery in Stratford, eventually opening up a storefront in Bridgeport, which sat on the city line of Stratford, leading to the name, City Line Florist. In 1975, Charles' son Bob and his grandchildren, Susan and Carl, decided to move to a new location in Trumbull, where they turned an old horse barn into a charming new florist shop. Bob received the Connecticut Florist of the Year Award in 2005. City Line, located in a quaint New England town of 30,000 people,  has been voted "Best Florist in Fairfield County" for several consecutive years and won the 2018 Small Business Success Award in Trumbull.
