Bookstores, florists among businesses that reopen in SCV - Santa Clarita Valley Signal
Sunday, July 05, 2020Among the local businesses that reopened Friday was florist shop Sunflorist in Canyon Country, which kept busy with Mother’s Day arrangement orders.“It’s crazy, crazy, crazy. We’re really thankful for the reopening and it’s just in time to thank all the mothers who are working right now during a very tragic time,” said store manager Kimo Hernandez.While curbside pickup service is in the works, the shop is currently offering non-contact deliveries, where drivers drop off arrangements at home porches, without the need of a signature, Hernandez said, adding that employees are also practicing up to 12 feet of distancing and delivery workers are using special racks for safer pickup arrangements.

Dan Watson/The Signal Dan Watson/The SignalThe store has largely depended on receiving goods from sellers in the region, such as Santa Barbara and San Diego, and less from out-of-state, due to fewer planes transporting non-essential goods. During the closure, the shop faced a 70% loss in sales, but Hernandez said Friday things are starting to pick up again. “For one, Mother’s Day is coming but also I think customers don’t know that we’re now open. We’re just getting that flow where we would normally already have that flow by now,” he said. Just west of the flower shop is The Open Book Canyon Country bookstore on Soledad Canyon Road, which started curbside pickup on Friday. “We reopened today with curbside pickup. We’re going to see what works for us because, being a bookstore, there’s a lot of browsing. We’re looking at selling bundles,” said store manager Diana Roach.

David and Bart Faulkner say they’re coupon-cutters and were already stocked up on toilet paper when stores started selling out.They created the special edition toilet paper bouquet and posted a photo of it online last week. The picture solicited hundreds of comments and calls from across the nation.“Same concept. It has greenery, it has water, it has a vase, it has a ribbon. Lots of mechanics on the inside,” Faulkner said. “It took a lot of labor. You just can’t make tissue paper look pretty. You just can’t.”David and Bart say they’ve only sold a couple of the bouquets so far.??Work Flow ....

Sunday, July 05, 2020COVID-19 concerns, so Graham said he was happy to do something to make them smile.Graham opened Flowers by Mike in his native Oceanside in January 2019. Last month, he took over the East Rockaway Florist. He had just launched the new operation when he had to shut down. Since opening, Graham has been active in both communities, and each Valentine's Day he donates roses to MSSN so that the staff can give them to patients along with their meals.“That was my whole goal all along was to be a part of the community,” Graham said, “to help in any way that I can, and just give to the community. It's making people smile. It's making people happy, whatever I can do, I'll do it.”Graham said closing his shops has had a devastating financial impact, including having to be dormant for Easter and Passover, two holidays where he generates a lot of business. He added that he was worried that he may be closed for Mother's Day in May, which is usually a booming day for business.Graham noted that he has not laid anyone off, and that the staff is working to get through the global crisis as a team. He said he wishes his customers, community members and fellow business owners well, and expressed optimism that things will turn around eventually.“Everyone will get through this together,” he said, “and the positive in the end is we'll get back and support our local businesses.” ... https://www.liherald.com/stories/flowers-by-mike-in-oceanside-east-rockaway-donates-arrangements-to-seniors-hospitals-and,123706
