New flower business blooms in Huron - Sandusky Register

Sweet Pea because the due date was in April,” Gilbert said. “It sort of feels like taking some of the bad and turning it into something good.” Most of her flowers come from local growers or Cleveland if it’s not naturally grown in Ohio. She hopes to eventually grow more of her own flowers but was limited this year because of time constraints.Gilbert has been showing up at pop-up shop events like the Huron’s Lakefront Market to offer unique flowers and bouquet arrangements that people can’t get from ordering online.“I can get a wider variety of flowers and give people the experience of creating their own bouquet,” Gilbert said. “I offer advice and help. You could go to a supermarket and pick up a prearranged bouquet, but it’s not going to be as personal.”The community has reacted positively to her growing business.“There’s been nothing but excitement and support. Outside my family, it’s been the most fulfilling thing I have done,” Gilbert said. “It has legs of its own and some times I just feel like I’m walking behind to support it.”Reach reporter Michael Harrington at [email protected], follow the Register at Facebook.com/SanduskyRegister... http://www.sanduskyregister.com/story/201906120022

Perspective | This D.C. florist's secret to surviving 114 years and four generations - The Washington Post

Teddy Roosevelt was president. It is one of only a few old-school Washington survivors, along with Ben’s Chili Bowl (a youngster at 1958), Tiny Jewel Box (1944), Cleveland Park’s Uptown Theater (1936) and Wagshal’s delicatessen (1925). It didn’t take me long to figure out why Caruso is still in business after more than a century.Two words: asset light.They own no warehouse. No gardens. No greenhouses. They have zero debt, save for a few thousand dollars on the delivery trucks. They lease 2,600 feet across two buildings separated by a driveway instead of owning the buildings. “People say, ‘Gosh, why don’t you put a shop in Virginia? Why don’t you put one in Maryland?’” Mike said. “The thing about this is we like to have control over the product and the employees and everyone. That way, you can take care of your quality. If you start branching out more and more, then you have more headaches.”Boxes of flowers come in the back door, and beautiful arrangements fly out the front. Besides the trucks, they have some refrigerators and a computer. “With flowers, you want to move those out two, three days after you get them in,” Mike said. “It’s not like food where you can put it in the freezer. You want to keep that product moving.”The Washington economy does its part.“You are insulated by being in D.C., between the government, the individual businesses and the law firms,” he said. “We have been at this location since 1968. The rents keep escalating. I try to get in as long a lease as I can. I signed one a couple of years ago for 10 years.”[A first lesson on the stock market: Don’t run from a good sale]Mike’s brothers, Tim and Steven, split responsibilities. Tim takes care of technology and billing. Steve handles hard and soft items such as vases and fruit. Phil orders most of the flowers and is the ambassador and face of the company.Everything about Phil is flowers. He lives in a Montgomery County neighborhood called (I am not making this up) Flower Valley. His house is on Jasmine Drive. He wore a green flower-print Brooks Brothers silk tie when I saw him.Phil doesn’t take a salary. He and Peg, his wife of 63 years, live on Social Security and stock investments.“We bought a new truck with my salary [instead],” Phil said. “I like to see my name floating around town.”Cheryl Diaz MeyerFor The Washington PostPhil Caruso sports a floral tie every day when he shows up for work at 4 a.m.Cheryl Diaz... https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/this-dc-florists-secret-to-surviving-114-years-and-four-generations/2017/08/18/ee1a0152-836e-11e7-b359-15a3617c767b_story.html
