Founded in 1957, Edwards Florist was bought last year by Fauerbach and Dvorak.

“Here we are, one year and thousands of work hours later. We’ve invested in new employees, improvements to the workspace, new computers and an ideal delivery vehicle," Fauerbach said in a press release. “We’ve implemented processes to improve operations, customer service and created a more efficient and inviting work environment for our talented and dedicated staff… and business is growing.”
