Savilles Florist: A Family Legacy Blossoming for Over Seven Decades

In the quaint village of Orchard Park, nestled in the heart of the community, there exists a hidden gem that has been brightening lives with beautiful blooms for over 70 years. Savilles Florist, a family-owned and operated flower shop, is a testament to the enduring power of family, tradition, and unwavering dedication to quality.

A Floral Beginning

The story of Savilles Florist began in 1952 when Irene's older brother had a vision to expand the family's farm by starting a flower business. Their fertile farmland provided the perfect backdrop for growing the beautiful flowers that would soon grace the community's homes and special occasions. The farm also became a source of employment for countless local kids who fondly remember picking strawberries for the Saville family.

A Transition to a New Chapter

After 58 years of operation in the same location, the family decided to retire from farming. However, Irene, at the age of 70, now 83, was not ready to retire from the flower business. Her daughter, Karen, and her family stepped in to continue the family tradition, relocating the shop to a former church building on North Buffalo Street in Orchard Park.

The move represented a transition from the old to the new, not just in terms of physical space but also in business innovations. They expanded and renovated the building, adding storage, a garage, cooler space, and a greenhouse. In a heartwarming touch, they repurposed trees from the old location for the new building's interior, preserving the legacy of the past.

A Digital Touch

As the youngest member of the business, Bryan took on the task of modernizing the shop's marketing efforts. He revamped the shop's website and social media presence, bringing a fresh digital perspective to the time-honored family business.

Family: The Heart of Savilles Florist

Throughout its storied history, the essence of Savilles Florist has always been family. Each generation has learned from the one before, contributing their unique skills and perspectives to nurture the business.

Bryan aptly describes it: "Everyone in this business has their own skill set, their own puzzle piece, and bringing it all together makes us a perfect team."

Quality Over Convenience

In an age where large order-gathering companies prioritize convenience over quality, Savilles Florist takes a stand. They maintain complete control of the flower ordering process, from taking orders to designing unique arrangements based on customer requests and personally delivering the finished products. Their commitment to quality is unwavering, and their customers appreciate the hands-on approach.

Bryan explains the difference: "When you shop with us, you know that you're ordering from a family that's hands-on from start to finish."

A Loyal Customer Base

Their meticulous attention to detail and personal touch has earned them a loyal customer base. The bonds formed with customers often span generations, as Savilles Florist becomes a part of their lives. They share in significant life moments, from weddings and first communions to proms and anniversaries.

A Joyful Family Tradition

Working together as a family, day in and day out, in a bustling and close-knit environment might sound challenging to some. But for Irene, the matriarch of the operation, it's an absolute joy.

"It's totally fun, or we wouldn't be here. For us it's not about the money or making millions, it's about the connection to our customers and providing for our employees and family" Irene says. "I'm very happy to have my daughter, her husband, and my grandson here because they'll keep the tradition going."

Savilles Florist is a testament to the enduring spirit of family, tradition, and quality in a world where convenience often takes precedence. In the heart of Orchard.

 Park, this family-owned flower shop continues to bloom, brightening lives and creating beautiful memories for its community.
