Things You Can Do to Spread Joy During National Smile Week

We can all agree that the last year and a half has been challenging and stressful in so many ways. However, we also know that it is our close circle of friends and family as well as the kindness of strangers that have been the key to getting through it all. This week is National Smile Week. It was created many years before COVID-19 as a way to encourage kindness and thoughtfulness in a way that would hopefully go viral in a good way! Now more than ever, participating in National Smile Week is a good way to help others as the stress and concern over health and wellness continue for those of all ages. Here, in San Diego, we want to make the most of this week and pay it forward in the weeks to come so we can all maintain a positive frame of mind. Our team at our San Diego flower shops, including those in La Mesa and El Cajon, shared their thoughts about what we can all do during National Smile Week to focus on positive mental health for all here in San Diego and around the country. Make a concerted effort to smile more. It will rub off on others, making them feel good and perhaps inspiring them to smile more, too. While we may have to wear masks in certain places, which means not everyone will see us smile, we can still smile with our eyes and with our voices. Think of what you can do for others, large or small. It can be holding the door for someone, helping them with errands or tasks around the house, participating in volunteer work, or buying something for those in need like school supplies or clothes, groceries, [...]

Making Good Use of Our New Central Design Center on Valentine’s Day

This Valentine’s Day was one of our busiest yet in our nearly 40 years of doing business in San Diego. We’ve come a long way from the point where our family was selling roses on the streets of San Diego some 38 years ago. Our family is so proud to see how much we’ve grown and flourished thanks to the loyalty of our customers and their ongoing referrals to their friends, family, and colleagues. We couldn’t do this without you! It’s been a special year already with our opening at Liberty Station. Plus, we opened a central design center that serves as a production and distribution facility. Dubbed “AC/DC” (Allen’s Central Design Center), we were really glad we opened it just before Valentine’s Day because it really helped us satisfy this year’s customer demand. Being the largest provider of flowers in San Diego means we need a lot of space to house and create our one-of-a-kind flower arrangements. We create hundreds of flower arrangements every day. Plus, during the time leading up to and including Valentine’s Day, we did literally thousands of flower arrangements each day. Now, as we recover from Valentine’s Day, we are excited to put our new floral center to work for other occasions, such as the upcoming wedding season, local San Diego events, conventions, and all the special requests from our customers. We were even covered on our local San Diego television news this year. Be sure to check out the video that features our incredible team. You’ll see all the mayhem that defined this year’s preparation for Valentine’s Day!
