After 73 years, this could be Stagemeyer Flower Shop's last Valentine's Day rush - York Daily Record
Sunday, February 09, 2020Stagemyer Flower Shop in December of that year. Dan picked up work at Miller's Auto Supply in West York. In June of 1977, they purchased the business from Charlotte and Claire Stough. Charlotte's father opened the flower shop in the first floor of their row home in 1947. "I had no idea what I was getting into," Dan said. At any given moment, Stagemyers has about 75 varieties of flora. Simple bouquets such as a dozen cuenca roses may take Karen about five minutes to design. Larger, more intricate arrangements could take upwards of 25 minutes. "It's a physical job, and it is a lost art, but it is an art," Karen said. Come Valentine's Day, the store will be filled to the brim with nearly 5,000 roses, dozens of arrangements, and you can expect a line out the door come Friday, Dan said. "It is the absolute biggest day we have," he said. "There are three or four guys that come in every year — it's like a reunion." Over the years, he's grown accustomed to such frequent customers. It is bittersweet for him and his wife. Valentine's Day farewell After 43 years, the couple is gearing up for what could potentially be their final Valentine's Day service. The Hinsons put their North George Street property up for sale nearly a year ago. They're hoping whoever purchases the property is interested in keeping the business. Dan, 67, and Karen, 66, understand they can't do it on their own anymore. "We've had customers that we did the weddings for, their children's and grandchildren's weddings," he said. "Now we're doing their funerals, and that's tough. We've known some them [customers] their whole lives." Dan recalled nearly a dozen flower shops around downtown York when they opened. Today, he believes there are only four, including Stagemyers, left. The couple cited concerns about their age and health as primary concerns for the decision to list the business for sale. The rise of grocery store flower sections and online outlets such as Avas have also hindered the shop's sales. For holidays such as Valentine's Day, over 300 customers will walk through the door. Not including delivery sales, the pair may find themselves in the shop until after 1 a. https://www.ydr.com/story/news/local/2020/02/06/stagemyers-flower-shop-york-could-final-valentines-rush/4655589002/

Marrazzo's Florist To Move If LMT Development Approved: Report - Patch.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA — Marrazzo's Manor Lane florists, a fixture in Lower Makefield, will move, but stay open, if a new residential development at its current site is approved. The Intelligencer reports that developer Cedar Crossing Investors is seeking variances to build 11 homes on about three acres of land at Marrazzo's current location, at Yardley-Morrisville and Pine Grove roads. The paper writes that the two-story townhouses would be about 2,800-2,900 square feet, with four bedrooms, according to plans filed with Lower Makefield Township. The development would be at the site of the third-generation Marrazzo's, which was established in 1947 in the Manor Lane section of Morrisville. It moved to its current location, the site of an existing nursery, in 1984, according to the paper. Mike Marrazzo told The Intelligencer that there's a deal in place to sell the land. If Lower Makefield approves the development, the family business will relocate nearby, he said. "Once we know where this is going, then we're going to try to look fo... https://patch.com/pennsylvania/yardley/marrazos-florist-move-if-lmt-development-approved-report

Dallas Museum of Art League Scores a Famed Royal Florist for Signature Fundraiser - PaperCity Magazine
Sunday, February 09, 2020Photo by Eva Nemeth)We then asked him what his dream floral arrangements would be if an event were being thrown in his honor. (Seriously, can you imagine the pressure of that florist?)“They’d be seasonal and locally grown,” Connolly said “Yes! Dallas does have local growers and they are wonderful!”And if we’re going all out? Because what is Dallas if not a city that always does just that?“I would have some growing things, too, which I would give to my guests as a lasting memento of my party.”And there you have it. Seems like the planning committee should take this hint and run with it.Table sponsorships start at $5,000 and individual ticket are $500 (click here for more details on purchasing). The day includes an opening reception, raffle, floral presentation, lunch, book singing, and a first look at the fourth annual Art in Bloom Floral Exhibition. Each patron ticket also grants guests access to a posh patron party on February 29, which Connolly will attend as an honorary guest. https://www.papercitymag.com/society/dallas-museum-of-art-in-bloom-shane-connolly-royal-florist/
