Hi skip, do you have a website? Are your stores retail florist storefronts? Sorry, I am unfamiliar with your company.
There were some other questions on the introduction page...answering them will help us get to know you better. Thanks!!!

Hey Skip...
...it's good to see you here.
I've been to Skip's original store in Edmonton and many of his franchisee's stores throughout Canada.
I also worked for him about fifteen years ago (can't believe it's been that long!). Skip has done a lot to make fresh flowers more available and affordable here in Canada - especially in places where they were once very hard to come by.

Hi Again. Our stores are retail outlets located in a number of Canadian cities and towns. You can find out more detail about the company at www.grower.com.
Further to that I have two kids involved in our business. Daughter Heather, who has attained her AIFD and AAF designations and has done numerous Floral Design Presentations and Training Seminars to the trade here in Canada, and son Chris, who has become very involved in the Internet side of our business www.floraworld.com.
I myself am somewhat retired and choose not to be 100% involved in the business.
Hey Mark, thanks for the kind remarks! Good to hear from you and glad to see your still at it. Say hi to your dad! Trust all is well.

Hi, Skip! Good to see you on FlowerChat.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Skip, Heather and Doug from Grower Direct at their HQ, as well as working in-store with a number of their franchisees.
Grower Direct, IIRC, is the largest floral franchise in north america, and the largest importer of flowers in Canada. Over 80 stores, last I checked.
