โThis is our biggest weekend of the year:โ Orlando florist hurt by pandemic hopes business blooms for Valentineโs Day
ORLANDO, Fla. โ Central Florida flower shops are hard at work with Valentineโs Day just days away. Newton said business is blossoming with holiday sales after her store took a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic. โDuring the summer last year we lost our hotel trade, restaurant trade, Disney, the theme parks,โ Newton said. She said they are now serving more local customers and doing more deliveries. These are the folks who come here, theyโre every day and Iโm delighted to have them in the neighborhood,โ Sweatt said.
