BUFFALO, N.Y. — The latest Western New York business that started as a mobile concept that grew into a permanent brick and mortar is now open.
Petal Pusher is a flower business owned by Samantha Reidy. For the past few summers, she has driven her turquoise Volkswagen truck all over town, bringing build-your-own fresh flower bouquets farmer's markets, fairs, and festivals.
Now, her storefront is open at 15 Allen Street. It's part floral shop, part bar.
"I never wanted to be a traditional florist," Reidy said. "I always wanted it to be a place where you come and stay a while. So you can make a bouquet, come in, have a glass of wine, have an iced tea. Sit at the bar, sit on the couch, just hang out for a while and enjoy yourself."
Petal Pusher is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
