I have drafted this post 1,482 times, trying to find the right words. It’s time to share something with you all.
After 75 dedicated years serving Wyoming & the surrounding communities, we’ve made the difficult, bittersweet decision to close our doors at the end of October.
This wasn’t an easy choice. It took many long conversations, careful thought, & heartfelt prayer over recent months. No one ever wants to be the family member who closes the final chapter on a business that has been part of our local history & our family heritage for more than three generations. But here we are, stepping into a new season of life.
I could list all the operational challenges we’ve faced over the past few years—many of you have heard similar stories from other local small businesses or seen them in the news. Instead, I’d rather focus on the immense blessings & new adventures that lie ahead for our family.
Jennie is officially retiring & moving closer to her daughter, where she’ll help with her twin grandsons. She’s absolutely thrilled & can’t wait to embrace being “just Grandma.”
As for us, we’re looking toward the future & realizing what we’ve been missing: quiet time together & more moments with our kids. This business has given us a lot of things we will cherish forever. But running it required sacrifices. Over time, it became clear that it was time to follow where God was leading us, & we knew this was the right moment.
We have several weddings over the next few months, & until our very last day, our doors remain Open. The cooler will be stocked with blooms, & our shop will be full of beautiful plants.
Please stop by! Pick up a houseplant, brighten your day with a fresh arrangement, or order a corsage or bout for Homecoming. Jennie & I never turn down a good chat. I always joke we’re a step above a local bar. Come share a story so we can thank you in person for being part of our journey.
Thank you for letting us be part of your lives for 75 years. It has been a true honor to celebrate your happiest moments & comfort you through tough times. We are grateful for your kindness, support, & friendship.
With love & gratitude,
April, Jennie, & the Whole Wyoming Florist family
