01

Out of school

He knew one thing for certain.

Vince started right out of school, and the only part of the plan he was sure about was that he didn't want to work for anybody.

What he didn't plan on was meeting a guy with an unbelievable flower connection. He started picking up flowers from him. He never stopped.

02

Brooklyn

The trade, learned from the pavement up.

A store in Brooklyn. Stands on the corner. Brooklyn and Manhattan, on the road and on the street, for years, selling flowers to people walking past, which is the fastest way there is to learn what people actually want.

He loved it. Every day was a new day and a new inventory, and that part has not changed.

03

Newtown

Same job, quieter corner.

After years of stands and corners he wanted somewhere permanent. A real store, in a building, at the same address every morning.

He found it on the corner of Washington and Sycamore, across from the Lukoil, in the center of town.

The job hasn't really changed. The flowers come in, and Vince figures out what to do with them.
