Share on Reddit Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire the oldest continuously operating flower shop in Miami Beach — founded in 1937 and run by the current owner for the last 38 years — with a loyal, affluent client base across some of South Florida's wealthiest zip codes.
The business has operated without a retail storefront since 2009, running as a lean, home-based, order-and-delivery operation taken by phone, wire-service order, and a network of branded websites. That shift eliminated commercial rent entirely while preserving order volume and a premium price point: the average 2026 credit card sale is $255, roughly three times the $75–80 industry average reported by FTD, and the 2026 Valentine's Day average order was $308.
Here's the real story for a buyer: the business sells under five trademarked, decades-old retail brands, built on 89 years of goodwill, backed by a customer database dating to March 2001 that drives an active occasion-based reminder program. On top of a proven, profitable base, two clearly identified levers — on-site event work and expanded Saturday coverage — have been deliberately left undeveloped by both the current and prior owner for personal/religious reasons rather than lack of demand.
Highlights
• 89 years in business (founded 1937); current owner has run it for 38 years
• Zero commercial real estate overhead — fully home-based, order-and-delivery model since 2009
• Average order value roughly 3x the reported industry average, driven by decades of brand equity
• Affluent, largely non-price-sensitive customer base in Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Indian Creek Village, Sunny Isles Beach, and Fisher Island
• Five trademarked retail brands, six branded domains, and full social media accounts included in the sale
• Customer sales database dating back to March 2001 supporting an active birthday/anniversary/holiday callback program
• Clean, fully on-the-books financials — no unreported income or off-the-books activity per ownership
• Six months of seller availability included post-closing, plus a seller-provided local non-compete covenant

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- Warehouse based operation — no leased or owned commercial retail space.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Serves a corridor from I-95 east to the Atlantic Ocean and from Hallandale Beach to Fisher Island. Ownership characterizes the customer base as largely insulated from broader economic slowdowns, and differentiates on 89 years of name recognition, premium average order value, and long-standing dealer/wire-service relationships rather than on price.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The two most direct levers, per ownership: (1) on-site event work — weddings, parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, and Sweet Sixteens — currently limited to flower drop-off only, described as the most lucrative segment of the floral industry; and (2) expanded Saturday coverage, particularly around major floral holidays.
