Marquis
Flowers is a family run business in
operation since 1931. We
have provided Lethbridge,
Southern
Alberta, South Eastern British Columbia
and South-western Saskatchewan with quality
flowers
and plants at affordable prices
continuously since
opening in 1931. |

Product quality
is of utmost importance to us-- we
will
only buy the freshest product from our
growers and
refuse any product order where
a doubt exists. From the time fresh flowers
arrive at our location, we immediately
process and re-hydrate all stems in proven
water solutions, allowing flowers to have
a good drink before placing in one of
our three walk in coolers. Buckets of
flowers are date coded to only have the
freshest used for either cut stems or
arrangements. (This is generally not required
as flowers come and go so fast that they
are never in the store long enough to
get old).
Flowers are ordered in four times a
week (more often at holiday times) with
the bulk being bought from the Vancouver
BC floral auction. Exotic varieties are
bought world wide through trusted brokers
ensuring only the best are available for
the retail customer.
Product selection
varies seasonally, but "Marquis
Flowers" generally has on hand 50
to 60 different varieties of flowers for
the greatest possible selection. All are
tastefully displayed in the coolers with
common names and everyday low prices.
If a special request for flowers for wedding
or sympathy is needed, we can generally
have a specific variety and color in a
couple days notice.
Pricing
of what we feel is a fresher, superior
product is generally lower than any tradition
florist, and comparable to grocery chain,
discount sellers pricing. Pricing does
tend to fluctuate more than tradition
florists, because we pass savings we have
made directly to the customer.
Staff
Our staff is both knowledgeable and experienced
in providing you with professional advice
and design answers to fit your every need.
We have nine regular designers and numerous
qualified people to fill in on those holiday
rush periods. Support staff in sales are
both knowledgeable and courteous and willing
to listen to your needs before offering
suggestions- for that special floral arrangement
that's just right for you. From our flower
prep personnel, to our delivery staff,
any better can not be found.
We use three of our own delivery vans
to ensure that when we call to arrange
a delivery time, your flowers are there
promptly and in the best possible condition.
We don't feel that common carrier delivery
people know, or care how to handle flowers,
whether in the heat of summer or freezing
cold of winter.
