Viviano Flower Shop is a fourth-generation family business that excels in the scale of its offerings. Servicing everything from graduations and weddings to anniversaries and funerals, the metro Detroit staple鈥檚 St. Clair Shores, Shelby Township, Chesterfield Township, Grosse Pointe Woods, and Rochester locations have become go-to spots for locals seeking their own floral fantasy.
But this year鈥檚 Best Florist 鈥 Multiple Locations wasn鈥檛 always this grand. In fact, it鈥檚 come a long way since its humble beginnings in Detroit.
Viviano Flower Shop was started by Frank P. Viviano and his wife, Elizabeth, in 1937. Like many Great Depression-era business owners, Frank would go to great lengths to satisfy customers. He even delivered floral arrangements via Detroit city buses due to gas rationing. Following years of dedication and hard work, though, Viviano Flower Shop found its footing. By the mid-40s, Frank purchased a Grosse Pointe greenhouse, which was later re-erected as the storefront for the florist鈥檚 St. Clair Shores location.
Since then, all eight of Frank and Elizabeth鈥檚 children have worked at the shop, and now. Frank aimed to install entrepreneurial qualities like craftsmanship, commitment, and camaraderie in his kids, who would go on to continue to grow the business with their own kids 鈥 today, Viviano Flower Shop is fronted by CEO Paul and President Peter, Frank鈥檚 grandchildren. With more than 80 years in business, perhaps it鈥檚 this strong foundation that鈥檚 made Viviano Flower Shop a winner. For more information, visit .
