Richardson's Flowers, Heartfelt Thanks to Medford, NJ
Counting your blessings at Thanksgiving is a wonderful tradition. I am thankful for my wonderful family, my friends, living in the USA, and simply enjoying life! During this season of celebration, I would like my customers to know I am thankful for their valued business and support. Richardson's Flowers has been in lovely Medford NJ for 31 years! Our customers have supported us through good times and bad. When the shop burned to the ground in 1987, our customers sent letters and cards offering their concern and support. Many of our customers often take the time to call or stop by to tell us how delighted they were about the flowers they sent as gifts or received from an admirer. Several of our customers bring us little tokens of appreciation including candy, cookies and even wine! I am grateful for their business, support and friendship.
On Monday, November 16th, our shop was forced to close for the day due a problem with the alarm system in the Ironside Shopping center. I forwarded the calls from the shop to my cell phone. Every customer I spoke with was very understanding and wished me well. Even if they had to purchase flowers elsewhere that day, they told me they would continue to use my flower shop in the future. I felt humbled by their loyalty and compassion, and I was thankful for their kind words.
During the day, I received a call from a customer that truly amazed me. I answered my cell and she said, "Is this Richardson's Flowers?" "Yes, how may I help you?" I replied. She told me she was calling from inside the flower shop and wanted to know where I was. She told me the shop was dark and no one was there, but the front door was unlocked. "Oh my!" I forgot to lock the door! I told her I would have the jeweler next door take care of it. She asked if it was OK if she purchased a gift while she was there. I found the whole scenario oddly amusing! "Sure!" I said. "If the police catch you in there, just call me and I will try to explain!" The next morning I found the money for her purchase with a note by the register! She even calculated the tax to her total bill! Too funny! Hmmm...perhaps we should leave the doors open every night! Her honesty is a huge testament to Medford NJ and the surrounding area! There truly are wonderful people in the world and sometimes we only reflect on the bad things in life.
Don't forget to be thankful for the simple things in life on Thanksgiving. Richardson's Flowers can help you express your love and gratitude with an exquisite fall centerpiece. Our florals get rave reviews and are sure to grace your Thanksgiving table for the holiday. Thank someone special today and always count your blessings!
