Business Overview:
This well established business has on-going institutional customers (churches, hospital, doctors’ offices) that are the backbone of the income. Many of these customers have been buying from Polly’s for a decade or more. The owner is supported by a network of suppliers so she does not need to go to Boston to buy flowers. The owner has developed allergic reaction to various flower types which causes her hands to blister, so she is sadly selling the business she loves.
