Running a small business definitely comes with its challenges.
In 54 years, Allen Flower Shop has been through all kinds of economic climates, changes, and ups and downs. But let me tell you… the equipment breakdowns have been coming for us this year!
In April, we had to replace our front display cooler. Then this past month, we had to replace parts on our walk-in cooler. I know the compressor has been replaced at least once over the years…but THIS old condenser?
This baby was pulled out after 54 YEARS of service! 😳
I’d say she served us VERY well. Fifty-four years in a flower shop is pretty impressive!
And anyone who knew my mom, Carolyn, knows exactly what she’s been saying up in Heaven:
“Well, it’s Ginger’s problem now.” 🥹😂
Thanks, Mom.
Just another chapter in the story of a little family flower shop that’s been keeping flowers cold and Allen blooming since 1972.
54 years and still blooming…even if we have to replace a few parts along the way!
