Flowers and Gifts News

Flower business blooms for generations

And I think they love flowers at least as much as we do. I can think of at least one, two, three, four of them here at our headquarters in Westmont who owned their own flower shops. Some of them came up the ranks and learned to design with us, and some of them came as experienced florists." What was the impetus for starting this business? "My grandfather, James Phillip, had to begin working at a very early age to support his widowed mother and siblings. He delivered flowers on Chicago streetcars as a child, tried other jobs, but returned to the flower business and found he had a real love and talent for floral designing. As newlyweds, he and his wife, Helen, opened our first flower shop in Cicero in the early '20s and began raising their children in an apartment above the shop. Today, seven full-time family members spanning three generations are active in the business, and we still have that love of flowers and passion for great design. … Things were just so different back then. I think my grandfather dropped out of school in sixth grade. Nobody does that anymore." Did the city of Naperville help you or hinder you in your plans? "As small-business owners, we wear a lot of hats. Naperville made it easy to open. We started in the mid-'90s, when we acquired an existing flower shop in 5th Avenue station. And over the years we just migrated to a free-standing location on Ogden Avenue. Naperville has been very supportive." What is the best thing about being located in Naperville? "The best things about Naperville are its residents and local businesses. It's a vibrant, upbeat, growing city that still has village charm and a very real sense of community." What is the biggest challenge about being located in Naperville? "I don't feel we really have any. So I'm just kind of blank on that one. You know, every city or village is a little different. We are in nine towns, eight flower shops, a main floral design center and a plant operation in Oak Brook. They are all different, but they are all similar." When is your busiest time of year? "Traditionally, December is the biggest month, Mother's Day the biggest week, and Valentine's the biggest couple of days, but with birthdays, new babies, weddings, ... (Chicago Tribune)
