Santa Rosa's Grohe Florists closing after a heritage that goes back more than 100 years - Santa Rosa Press Democrat

With roots going back more than 100 years, Santa Rosa’s Grohe Florists will close Wednesday as the owners retire from a business that’s helped generations of local residents spread good cheer, celebrate romance and comfort the sick or grieving.Brent and Loralie Wilson, who bought the store at 1313 McDonald Ave. in 1988, witnessed significant changes over the decades, from the advent of national brokers such as 1-800-Flowers to the influx of grocery stores encroaching heavily into the business. They also managed trends through the years with the ever-popular roses and dahlias and the more waning carnations and chrysanthemums.Still, the couple had a healthy clientele and the business was profitable. It won the Best of Sonoma County award sponsored by The Press Democrat seven out of the past eight years.“There are still loyal customers and they like to go to florists,” said Brent Wilson, 76. “For those who are getting a real customized, on-site attention for centerpieces and that sort of thing ... It’s just a more personal touch.”The couple decided... https://www.pressdemocrat.com/business/10357375-181/santa-rosa-florist-closing-after

Perfect storm for florists: Valentine's Day amid big snowfall lead to bouquet bust - Washington Post

We don’t make money unless the trucks are moving,” Callahan said, chipping away at the frozen wall surrounding the delivery van parked next to Bethesda Florist.A Valentine’s Day banner flapped in the wind on the store’s awning. “Send Your Love,” it said. Callahan shoveled. “Normally, on [February] 13th, there’d be 15 vehicles lined up out here,” he said. “It’d be mayhem on the street. But look at it.”Nobody was there. Nobody was moving. The great Cupid crisis of 2014 was underway. “Not ideal,” Callahan said.His family’s shop and florists across the snowed-in Washington region were facing the cut-flower equivalent of the perfect storm: major snowfall the day before Valentine’s Day. Americans are expected to spend nearly $2 billion saying it with flowers during the holiday this year, according to a National Retail Federation survey. It’s one of the industry’s three biggest sales periods, along with Mother’s Day and the December holidays, according to the Society of American Florists in Alexandria.Flower shops are always humming around Valentine’s Day — except when they aren’t: On Thursday, two-thirds of Bethesda Florist’s employees were at home. The delivery fleet was grounded. The phones were ringing only sporadically.“The s... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/perfect-storm-for-florists-valentines-day-amid-big-snowfall-lead-to-bouquet-bust/2014/02/13/ac70a220-94f1-11e3-83b9-1f024193bb84_story.html
