A third-generation business owner, Chuck Wallace grew up surrounded by flowers. "I live by a simple motto -- make someone smile," stated Wallace. "Flowers are the perfect way to do just that." Since taking the reins of the original Wallace Floral Shoppe in Mount Washington, Wallace rebranded the family business to WallaceFloral.com and began seeking the right opportunity to expand. "My family has been in business for over seventy years," said Wallace. "With booming residential growth and ongoing development throughout the Cultural District and Market Square, opening a new location Downtown seemed like that perfect opportunity to reach more people and make more smiles."
To celebrate their new location at the gateway to the Cultural District, WallaceFloral.com is brewing a wonderful and WICKED grand opening on Wednesday, September 7 through Friday, September 9. Stop by Fifth Avenue Place to experience the WICKED wonders throughout the center. Discover bewitching floral creations by WallaceFloral.com featuring gravity-defying broomsticks, witches and more.
While there, register to win a truly magical prize featuring a pair of tickets to WICKED and show souvenirs, dinner for two at Caffè Amante, and complimentary bouquets monthly through the end of 2011 -- over $500 in value.
On Thursday, September 8 at lunchtime, keep an eye out for the Flower Fairies from WallaceFloral.com. "Throughout Downtown, our Flower Fairies will be making people smile by giving away free roses and carnations," said Wallace. "Overall, we are thrilled to be a part of Downtown and all of the WICKED excitement here."
WICKED, Broadway's biggest blockbuster, returns to the Benedum Center September 7 through October 2 as part of the PNC Broadway Across America Pittsburgh Series, presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Tickets are available at 412-456-4800, wicked.pgharts.org and the Box Office at Theater Square.
