Inspiring Conversations with Katie Ball of The Flower Shoppe

Today we’d like to introduce you to Katie Ball.

Hi Katie, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
26 years ago, I got my dream job at The Flower Shoppe. The opportunity to buy The Flower Shoppe came in 2007, and I have owned it ever since. My 3 boys have grown up at the flower shoppe and worked there most of their lives. It has been a great experience, and flowers are in my blood and part of me and my family.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Learning how to own a buisness all the back end things that you never know about taxes, payroll, billing, insurance etc.

COVID- probably the biggest challenge

Resessions

The effect of world disasters on supply chains and flower production (fires, floods, droughts, etc)

Policy changes such as the new tarriffs
