CULLMAN – Cullman Florist, located in the Warehouse District since the April 2011 tornadoes, held its grand re-opening at its new location on Fourth Street Southeast with a ribbon cutting Thursday morning and will be hosting an open house until 7 p.m. for anyone who wants to come out and tour the new store, enjoy some snacks and drinks, and of course take advantage of storewide specials.

Cullman Florist is a family-owned business, open since 1966, and the store’s owners, Terry and Annette McHan, were in attendance to help welcome everyone into the newly renovated location.

Director of Member Services for the Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce, Magan Bartlett, was on-hand for the event and excited to celebrate.

“I’m so glad that we’re here today at Cullman Florist. I know they have been in the Cullman community for a long time and they have saved me personally and professionally with some flower arrangements throughout the years,” Bartlett joked. “They do great work and they’re just a great, solid business that we have here in Cullman to help make our community brighter.”

The store’s manager, Carla Fussell, is happier to be back in a familiar place more than anything else. She said she knew immediately that this was where the store belonged.

“Cullman Florist has been in business for 52 years, over in that lot, over in the Warehouse District, and now we’re back home over here in this neighborhood,” Fussell said. “We’re real excited to be over here in this area and re-opening and it’s a different feel over here and we feel at home. We felt at home from the very beginning.”

Cullman Florist is located at 119 Fourth St. SE and is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
