It’s a lot cozier than the former Wild Dusty Rose location — and for Patti Capps and Cynthia Williams, that’s just fine.
The mother-daughter team love their flower shop’s new location between Sisters Video and Café Wired at 413 W. Hood Ave., Ste. B.
“We like our location down here,” Capps said. “It’s easier for (customers) to get to.”
Off the highway, there’s less traffic and noise and local customers like not having to negotiate Cascade Avenue.
The move entails some changes in the business — mainly a reduction in gift items for sale.
“We’re a little smaller,” Capps said. “We’re concentrating on flowers.”
The shop offers fresh flowers, dried flowers and silks and “the same quality as we offered in the past,” Capps said.
Why make the move from the large and prominent building Capps owned?
“I’m ready to get my investment back... on the building,” she said.
There may have been another motive, but it has been overtaken by the success of the move:
“I was thinking I might be able to work less, but that hasn’t happened!”
