Valentine’s Day is almost here and Festival is the perfect place to shop for your sweetheart. Everything you need for a romantic dinner is within arm’s reach. The meat department will have steak and lobster ready to go for your main course.  The deli will have chocolate covered strawberries for a special treat. The bakery will be filled with sweet desserts and, of course, the Wine and Spirits department will have the perfect bottle of wine to accompany this special meal.  The most important thing though, is that our floral departments will have plenty of beautiful fresh flowers, potted plants, balloons and even gift baskets. You will find these items spread throughout the store.Every year I buy my Valentine’s Day flowers from Festival. It seems kind of like “the easy way out” because I work there but I really don’t see any reason not to buy them at Festival.  There is a great selection, the prices are reasonable, the quality is excellent since we use the same supplier as a traditional floral shop, and it is convenient.  Let me share an e-mail that we received from a guest:  “Last week I purchased a dozen roses and I would like to compliment your supplier. My wife was very pleased and a week later they are still holding blooming.”

For some people, a floral shop is uncharted territory which can make it a little intimidating. Since almost everyone shops at a grocery store every week, they feel much more comfortable there, making it a great place to pick out some nice flowers.

Please stop in and see what our floral departments have to offer for Valentine’s Day, you won’t be disappointed.
