Twisted Tree Nipawin Florist to receive national award - Nipawin Journal

Takes some getting used to. We’ve [received] phone calls, flowers and gifts and stuff from people saying congratulations.I didn’t do it for the award. I wanted people in our community and in Saskatchewan to be proud of something that is locally grown,” she said.When asked what is it that helped Twisted Tree become so successful Richardson Chalus she says her staff and her customers played a huge role.“It’s an honour, and I think it says a lot not only about us as a store, a business in a small community, but it says something about our customers and our consumers. They’ve stepped up to support a small independent business and people have continued over the last 10 years to support us locally,” she explained.“You often hear that when people have company, or guests come to town, ‘Oh this is one of the stops we have to make’. It’s nice, and the customer service on a small scale, that’s not something you get in a big city. We want to make sure people feel welcome and comfortable and I know that even though you can’t buy something every time you come in the door at least I know that when you need something , if you’ve been to check us out, you ‘ll think ‘ Hey let’s just pop down there’ and that’s great too,” she said.Twisted Tree has managed to carve out it’s own niche in Nipawin. The house decor, fancy displays, gift ideas, and festive offerings are eye catching. Richardson Chalus says all of this couldn’t have been possible without her staff.“My staff are my backbone. This isn’t a one woman show anymore and this takes the staff that I have and my family that contribute on a daily basis. Not one person can be run the show by themselves. This is a big operation now, it’s not just about one person.”The awards banquet will be held January 29 in Toronto. Flights are booked and Richardson Chalus says she looks forward to attended the awards with her husband Rod.This article passed through the Full-Text RSS service - if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.Recommended article: The Guardian's Summary of Julian Assange's Interview Went Viral and Was Completely ... http://www.nipawinjournal.com/2016/12/28/twisted-tree-nipawin-floorist-to-receive-national-award
