Family-owned floral shop to leave longtime spot in South End - Charlotte Observer (blog)
Sunday, February 11, 2018The shop recently put up a sign out front to indicate it’s moving. Its rent on South Boulevard is set to nearly triple. Meridian Commercial, which owns the building nearby that houses Westport Big & Tall, bought the Elizabeth House property in late October, according to Bob Beausoleil of Meridian. Property records show Meridian bought the site for $1.35 million. “The amount of interest right from the start shows how hot South End is right now. We have had interest from several high-end retailers and a few restaurant/bar users. We are now in serious talks with a couple of the retailers,” Beausoleil said in an email. Renovations on the space begin in early January, Beausoleil said. The strip on South Boulevard where Elizabeth House currently operates is changing rapidly. Nearby, Benjamin Moore Paint Store, for instance, last month vacated its spot because of a rent hike. It’s now at 3609 South Blvd. Next to the paint store’s old spot, Westport Big & Tall will either remain upstairs or relocate downstairs, depending on who is signed on as a new tenant. Also nearby, Boston-based Fallon Company is working with the Charlotte Housing Authority on a huge new $330 million development that will include mixed-income housing, a hotel, office space, and 57,000 square feet of shops and restaurants. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/whats-in-store/article185236648.html
Imlay Florist celebrates 180 years as a family owned business in local community - Y-City News
Sunday, February 28, 2021The nation’s oldest continuously family-owned and operated florist is celebrating its eighteenth decade serving Muskingum County customers.Imlay Florist, located in downtown Zanesville, will have its busiest day of the year Sunday, for Valentine’s Day, as fifth-generation owner Dave Imlay, his wife, Katie Imlay and dedicated staff work to fulfill a large number of bouquets and arrangements.Originally started as a nursery in New Concord by William Smith Imlay in 1841, the New Jersey native slowly grew his business before relocating to Putnam Avenue and opening a greenhouse.William’s son, John Dillion Imlay, would get cut flowers out of his father’s greenhouse and peddle them downtown on his bicycle to sell.Eventually, the young entrepreneur was able to grow the business enough that he was able to rent a small space out of a drug store located at the corner of Market Street and North 5th Street where the Pollock Apartments stand today.John was then able to save up the money needed to purchase a one-room building along the same block of 5th Stree... https://ycitynews.com/20606/events/imlay-florist-celebrates-180-years-as-a-family-owned-business-in-local-community/
Palmer Florist Persists Despite No Easter Church | Joliet, IL Patch - Joliet, IL Patch
Sunday, February 28, 2021JOLIET, IL —Easter Sunday is just days away and that means Palmer Florist, one of Joliet's longest running small family businesses, is usually delivering beautiful floral arrangements to several of Joliet's Roman Catholic churches. Not this year. As has been the case for the past few weeks, Joliet's churches will remain empty on Easter Sunday because of the new coronavirus outbreak. Funeral homes have also had to dramatically scale back their services. Many small businesses throughout Joliet remain shut down temporarily. Palmer Florist has been in Joliet since 1923. The third-generation small business has been at 1327 N. Raynor Ave. since 1964. Paul Palmer has run the business since 1978. He is like the unofficial mayor of Raynor Avenue.When he stands in his parking lot, several motorists who approach the stop sign in front of his business yell hello or engage in small talk with him if there aren't any other cars coming. People walking along Raynor Avenue stop to chat with him. People on bicycles wave and offer him good wishes.Losing out on the flora... https://patch.com/illinois/joliet/palmer-florist-persists-despite-no-easter-church
Love blooms year-round at Stamford florist - The Advocate
Sunday, February 28, 2021Cluceru.The ceremony took place, not in a cathedral or a temple or on a beach in Acapulco, but inside a flower shop in Stamford, just blocks away from the Government Center. Cluceru is also a florist, and conducting weddings in-store is just another part of her business, like selling roses and arranging bouquets. Except that Cluceru, who has owned Nobu Florist with her husband for over 20 years, doesn't quite see it that way. In the two years since she's been officiating weddings at Nobu, it hasn't necessarily boosted her sales of flowers, although brides-to-be often find her through wedding websites and blogs. Some of the clients who marry in her shop do purchase their flowers for the occasion from Nobu, but many don't. Some even bring their own with them. "I love it," Cluceru said. "Every single wedding I do, I almost cry, even though I've said it a million times." Many of the ceremonies performed at Nobu are arranged at the last minute, for a variety of reasons, whether personal or political, Cluceru said. While performing the ceremony, Cluceru choses words that emphasize the importance of respect, integrity, honor and equality in marriage. She has just one piece of advice: it's better not to get married on Val... https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Love-blooms-year-round-at-Stamford-florist-5233785.php
