• Description:
• Mom & Pop Business Is Now One Of Nation’s Largest Award-Winning Florist As so many small businesses, Brenda’s House of Flowers (BHOF) has a unique story as to how they went from a Mom & Pop to reach national acclaim. Lyn Shipman, wife of Skip Shipman, was looking for something to do after moving to Atlanta from Phoenix, AZ. Lyn managed several departments at the Arizona Biltmore, a five star resort. When Skip asked her what she had liked the most at the Biltmore, Lyn said she enjoyed managing the floral department best. In late 1996, Skip engaged a business broker to do a search for a small florist with potential for growth. After several months of due diligence, Skip purchased BHOF in Woodstock as a Christmas present for Lyn. After Lyn was in the business for several months, Skip took a 90-day leave of absence from his position as President of a small Atlanta-based technology company to come in and install new technology, initiate marketing and sales programs, while developing a business plan. To make a long story short, Skip never went back. Lyn & Skip are now living the “American Dream”. Skip said, “I go to work every morning with my best friend and wife, Lyn”. Their little dog, Lucy, is now the shop’s customer greeter… Out of over 20,000 florists nationally, BHOF has been named one of the floral industry’s “Top 50” largest retail florist for nine consecutive years. In 2007, BHOF was ranked 22nd. This past Mother’s Day, the executive producer from NBC-Teleflora selected Lyn as the USA’s “America’s Favorite Florist Mom”. Skip was named the “2006 Marketer of the Year”, the highest honor given by the Society of American Florists. BHOF was voted “The Best Of The Best” florist by the AJC and TowneLaker Magazine 10 times. The Cherokee County Chamber selected BHOF as their first ever “Small Business of the Year”. BHOF has received many other awards to numerous to mention. If you need to send flowers or gift baskets next door or around the world, BHOF can make it happen…Brenda’s is just a shining example of the entrepreneurial spirit in America!
