ROANOKE, Va. โ As we enter Motherโs Day weekend, business is blooming for area florists.
If you call Georgeโs Flowers, this is the automated answer you will get:โThank you for calling Georgeโs Flowers in Roanoke, you have reached us on one of the busiest Motherโs Days in our 39 year historyโฆโIt goes onto say that they are unable to take any additional orders until Monday.
On Friday, 10 News caught up with the owner, George Clements.
He believes the boom in business is because less people are visiting with each other in person and therefore opting for delivery options.
โFor the fact that they canโt go visit their mom, their grandmama, so they want to make sure they have flowers and itโs nice that they can give us a call, or order online, and have that accomplishedโฆโThey have somewhere around 500 deliveries over the course of this Motherโs Day weekend.
