Winston Flowers is closing three retail florist shops - The Boston Globe

Governor Baker allowed florists to reopen for business for online sales for Mother’s Day and Winston Flowers reached peak capacity for Mother’s Day orders in Boston, Greenwich, Conn. and New York City.AdvertisementBut for florist businesses that rely so heavily on foot traffic and in-store sales, it seems even a surge in online orders was not enough to ensure they could stay in their physical locations.“Over the past three months, the floral industry, like many other industries, has been impacted tremendously,” owners Ted and David Winston wrote in an email to customers.

When the store opened on Mother’s Day, Ms. Wardman did her best to nod to the county’s rules — or not completely flout them. The metal rolling gate out front was still down, and the veranda, usually overflowing with a colorful assortment of seasonal blooms, was empty. The store was selling premade arrangements, not its hallmark custom bouquets. Customers were not allowed inside. A wooden bench blocked the doorway. For a day, at least, she ran an open-air business.“I keep thinking I’ll get through this, and then I’ll think about how I’m going to approach the next step. Then the rules change, and so I have to make another adjustment,” she said. “It’s a very confusing time.”Wisteria, like other San Francisco Bay Area businesses deemed nonessential, had to close its doors when Alameda County, which stretches along the east side of the bay, and six other counties imposed shelter-in-p... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/12/business/coronavirus-small-business-california-reopening.html

Flowers Blooming, Customers Drying Up in Flower District - Spectrum News NY1

We are sending trucks with flowers outside the city. We are still operational and were just trying to keep it alive.  It's a very difficult environment right now,” said Natan Alpert, Co-Owner, New York Flower.“Everybody in this whole segment of the flower industry is involved from the grower, to the exporter, to the importer, which we are to the florists and the transporters in between,” said Cas Trap, Co-Owner, New York Flower Group.To try to survive, many of these wholesalers are trying to move their business online and beyond New York.“We are trying to promote more online ordering trying to send flowers maybe to your elderly neighbors that really can't go outside,” said Wit.“We figure the best thing is to deliver the flowers to the customers instead of the customers coming to us,” said Trap.Because at this point no one is showing up. https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2020/03/19/flowers-blooming--customers-drying-up-in-flower-district
