A smaller, remodeled shop just keeps on growing and thriving

摘要

When the landlord came knocking with plans to do a full remodel of the building that housed The Bothell Florist, owner Larry Arzumanov and manager Laurel Stromme-Dede were forced to consider their options. Was it time to get a fresh start in a new location?As it turns out, the downtown area where the shop had been located for years (Laurel had purchased her own prom flowers here in the '90s) was undergoing a renewal of its own, which made the location hard to beat. "The entire downtown area has been goingthrough a major rebirth," says Laurel. "Lots of new restaurants, new buildings and new hotels are going up. The town has a population of 45,000 and ifs growing fast."
