New member in Minnesota

[angieh019]

Hi Everyone,
I am a floral designer and owner of a floral shop which is now in its final stages for grand opening in Minnesota.
I look forward to exchanging ideas and communicating with everyone in the forum.
Since I am just starting out in the business, I am open to words of encouragement or suggestion and ideas of do's and don'ts.
Thank You!

You said "final stages of opening"...will you be open for Valentine's Day? It's an exhilarating week!

Aww opening right before Vday!!!
My parents closing went through on Feb. 7th two years ago. That was a very hectic week!!! Wasn't a brand new shop by far, accually our shop has been in the area for almost 75 years!! But still being new owners one week before Vday was, well, a very weird experience!

We opened our shop Feb. 7, 2000. Thankfully, we had tons of experience working in other shops to prepare us. Well, we were prepared fairly well.
