Boesen The Florist

Boesen The Florist was opened at the present location of its main store and greenhouse of 3422 Beaver Avenue in 1923 by Betty and Theodore Boesen. Today, it is owned and operated by third generation family members, Tom and Frank Boesen. The Beaver Avenue store has evolved from its original “bones” as a small retail shop with family housing above in the 1920’s, to its current state with many additions and renovations. Its 60,000 square feet now accommodate a central design facility, a 22 line call center, administrative offices, a seven peak greenhouse operation, a floral and hardgoods receiving and distribution center and retail space. The gem of this location is its 1600 square foot walk-in retail cooler that allows customers the opportunity to browse the entire selection of the 30,000 to 40,000 stems brought in each week from flower farms around the world.
