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 [...]
