This year, Eastern Floral is proud to celebrate 75 years of business in Grand Rapids!
As we reflect on our journey, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible West Michigan community that has supported us every step of the way. It's because of you that we've been able to grow, evolve and continue to thrive over the years.
Our story began in 1950 when Frank Devos came across a simple ad in his local newspaper:
"Business Opportunity. Floral shop for sale. Call realtor."
It was a brief message, easily overlooked, but Frank recognized it as something special. He saw the potential in that small floral business, and his vision set the foundation for what Eastern Floral would become. Nearly 75 years later, we are so glad that he was right!
In 2001, Bing Goei took ownership of Eastern Floral, alongside his daughter, Rachael VanderHeide. While ownership has shifted over the history of the company, our core mission has remained the same: to exceed our customers' expectations with high-quality flowers, innovative designs and exceptional service.
As we mark this milestone, we're excited to share that we have many celebrations planned throughout the year! From monthly design classes and community events to special promotions, we invite you to join us in the festivities. Keep an eye on our calendar and make sure to follow along on social media—there's always something new happening at Eastern Floral!
We want to take this opportunity to thank you, our loyal customers, for your continued support. Our store on Broadmoor is open Monday through Saturday, and of course, you can always visit us online at EasternFloral.com to place orders or learn more.
Here's to 75 wonderful years—and to many more to come!
