A Arrangement Florist moves to new space with new ownership - Spartanburg Herald Journal

Spartanburg team, he said the decision to buy A Arrangement was simple because the employees cared so much about their customers and store.Brown said the A Arrangement in Greer still is owned by DeShazor, and Lone Star Bloom has expressed interest in purchasing it when DeShazor retires.“We are growing into the established floral shop arena by acquiring local shops with successful operations and history,” Brown said. “We focus on offering the prior owner a self-controlled exit and transition.”The process has allowed for a seamless change of ownership at A Arrangement in Spartanburg, for employees to keep their jobs and for customers to continue receiving the level of customer service they’ve grown accustomed to, he said.“We want the customers to know that the team is here, even after the transition,” Brown said.Lone Star Bloom recently purchased a 4,000-square-foot retail space at 231 E. Kennedy St. for A Arrangement. The building was formerly split up for businesses over the years, including Gerald's Candy and Nut Shoppe, Clyde Fitness, Crock Pot restaurant and Kennedy Street Florist.Ben Hines and Andy Hayes of Spartanburg-based Spencer/Hines Properties represented the estate of Gerald Tucker in the sale of the Kennedy Street building, listed for $199,000.“Our company is excited that we’re able to retain a retailer to stay in the downtown Spartanburg market,” Hines said. “We know that with A Arrangement’s reputation, they’re making a long-term commitment to the citizens of our community.”Andrew Babb of NAI Earle Furman is handling the sale of the now-vacant South Church Street building, which he said is under contract. ... http://www.goupstate.com/news/20170315/arrangement-florist-moves-to-new-space-with-new-ownership

Greer's Florist celebrates 60 years of business - Glasgow Daily Times

GLASGOW — Monday marked the 60th anniversary for Greer's Florist, a family-run business that is now on Scottsville Road.The flower shop was first opened by Pearl Greer in 1956.She operated it out of the basement of her home on Pritchardsville Road.“She started it as a hobby. She just wanted something to do. She was 47. She had never worked out,” said Davie Greer, who married Pearl Greer's only child, Jerry.Davie Greer began working at the flower shop in 1963, doing the bookkeeping for the business.“I did the books for several years and then just gradually picked (flower arranging) up,” Davie Greer said.Davie Greer's husband, Jerry, a mechanic, delivered flowers, but usually only on busier days, such as Easter, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day, and he still does when he is needed.After about eight years, the business became much more than just “a hobby,” so Pearl Greer moved the flower shop from the basement of her house to the house next door. She ran the business out of the house next door to her own home for 20-plus years.“We moved... http://www.glasgowdailytimes.com/news/greer-s-florist-celebrates-years-of-business/article_d57c60b4-b5e1-11e6-97a3-d7dc92689f26.html

58-year-old Beaufort flower shop to reopen in August - Hilton Head Island Packet

After working on a luxury skincare line and getting it on the shelves at Harrods, Stone took her two sons on a summer trip to South Carolina in 2013. Vacationing on Fripp Island with friends and family brought back happy memories of growing up in the South. Returning to London was a little sad for Stone and her sons -- ultimately, the city's "cold, gray" weather and commuter culture weren't working for the trio anymore.

Tennessee's 2019 Offseason Outlook: Safety - 247Sports

The Vols got a glimpse of life with them not in the picture last season, when Abernathy missed four games due to injury and Kelly didn't play much defensively outside of the starts he made against South Carolina and Charlotte.Abernathy, slowed by injury in two of his three seasons as a starter, had just 38 tackles and three tackles for loss in 2018 after he was third on the team with 81 tackles the previous season, while Kelly was hindered the past two seasons by knee problems that were bad enough he won't be continuing his football career.WHO'S HERE> Nigel Warrior (Sr.), Theo Jackson (Jr.), Shawn Shamburger (Jr.), Cheyenne Labruzza (R-So.), Trevon Flowers (So.), Brandon Davis (R-Fr.), Jaylen McCollough (Fr.)Warrior returns for his senior season and presumably will remain in his starting role. The former top-100 prospect has yet to make the kind of impact the Vols have hoped he would, though he's been Tennessee's second-leading tackler the past two seasons. Despite his production, Warrior occasionally struggled with his pursuit angles and tackling in run support and in coverage, but he likes the Pruitt, knows new defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley from recruiting and has one final season to put it all together.The competition for the other starting safety spot alongside Warrior quietly could be one of the better ones on the team this offseason.Flowers has be to considered the favorite even though he had some freshman moments last September before a collarbone injury during the open date essentially made him a non-factor for the rest of the season. He's a favorite of Tennessee's coaching staff and should benefit from a full offseason of reps as he continues to transition from baseball to football, which he didn't play in high school until his senior year. He was starting to turn the corner last year when he got hurt.Jackson and Shamburger drew starts and saw increased playing time when Abernathy and Flowers were injured in the middle of last season, and each had their moments, both good and bad. They figure to remain in the mix for playing time at safety and the Star/Money positions, which both played last season. Shamburger was in and out of Pruitt's doghouse last season (he didn't even make the travel roster for the Georgia game and started at Auburn two weeks later), but the Vols still think he can be a quality player.Labruzza has played in 11 games, primarily on special teams, the past two seasons, but Davis should be able to get in the mix in the secondary after redshirting last season... https://247sports.com/college/tennessee/Article/Tennessee-Vols-safety-2019-Offseason-Outlook-Nigel-Warrior-Trevon-Flowers-129598306/
