The Progress
The grand opening of a new storefront location for Exquisite Blooms Florist was well attended on Tuesday morning, Oct. 11. The new shop is located at 114 N Sandhill, Suite E in Mesquite. Over 100 people attended the ribbon cutting and grand opening event.
Business owners Denise and Bill Sims have brought 39 years of floral designing and creativity with them to Mesquite from Reno, Nevada.
Denise was extremely excited over the great turnout for the opening. There were plenty of balloons and exquisite floral arrangements to be seen. Wonderful snacks and cakes were made available to the crowd.
Even hours after the actual ribbon cutting ceremony there were still plenty of people roaming in and out of the shop.
“Mesquite has been so inviting to us,” Sims said. “I am overwhelmed at the turnout. It is just so nice!”
The shop is not large but it is artfully decorated. One corner is being utilized by Harry Wineman and Juliette Ashdown as a temporary space for their Mesquite Blessings Christian Book Store. They were both on site to talk about their business too. They are expecting to have a grand opening of their own soon.
A quick stop by the shop to say hi, is sure to give yourself a sweet smelling and colorful dose of cheer.
Sims is planning on having part of one wall to display her many floral certifications. “I am looking forward to starting my floral arrangement classes early in 2023,” she said.
Exquisite Blooms is open 7-days a week, by phone and on line at www.exquisitebloomsfloraldesign.com or www.exquisiteblooms.shop. The shop will be open Monday-Saturday 10 am -4 pm.
