ESTEVAN — The new year is starting with the new business opening on King Street in Estevan.
Estevan Flower Crew, owned and operated by Desiree Ruckaber, will offer a variety of flower arrangements and gifts.
Ruckaber has been a designer for 10 years and is an accredited event designer. A mother of four, she felt that now that her daughters are a little older, this was the time for her to "fill [her] bucket and start [her] own business".
The Estevan Flower Crew flowers and gifts store is set to have a soft opening towards the end of this week and is gearing up for a grand opening on Feb. 2 from 1-3 p.m. with dignitaries present and a ribbon cutting at 2 p.m.
"I just wanted to bring something exciting to Estevan where people can come into the flower shop with giftware," Ruckaber said. "We're a full-service flower shop with custom-made arrangements and gifts to suit every occasion."
The store will cater to all flower needs, offering a variety of arrangements, as well as gifts for different occasions. Besides front-end retail, they will also have delivery and online services available through a website.
Ruckaber said customers can expect a unique experience, as all of their arrangements are designed in-house.
"We're excited and looking forward to serving Estevan," Ruckaber said.
Estevan Flower Crew employs five people.
The store is located at Unit 7A 461 King Street at Scotsburn Square.
Estevan Flower Crew's hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
