Hi there
Yeah we have a Flower Shop as part of our Garden Centre complex here. The flower shop works as a stand alone business and trades as 1800 MyFlorist. We concentarte on telesales work and handle a good order volume. We shy away from Weddings and concentarte on funerals, anniversary, birthday, business flowers etc.
We've been open here now for nearly 8 months, we opened the whole complex in April of this year.
Business has been good, the garden centre also has a coffee shop, gift shop, ,paving display area etc etc so the foot fall is good.
We are rural business covering a very big delivery area, around 65 mile radius so some days it is profitable and other days not so but you have to take the good with the bad. We are located between the three biggest towns in the Area (Letterkenny, Londonderry and Strabane) so we are ideal for servicing all three.
What about you? - are yous well planned now for christmas?
