Floral shops vs. Kroger’s flowers. I have always purchased flowers for funeral from floral shops. I never considered Kroger. However, last week I purchased a flower from Kroger on Hudson Bridge Rd. for a loss high school classmate. My classmates donated funds to purchase a class flower for the funeral. I was blown away by the flower that was prepared by Kroger…. a community grocery store. It was amazing!!! Gabrielle, employee, prepared the flower. She asked me a few questions about the person character who was deceased and then produced a masterpiece. I received praises about the flower from other customers in the store, the parking lot, and at the funeral. Gabrielle even added a special touch that called out our high school class. The flower costed 40% less and looked 100% better than what I normally purchase at floral shops. Kroger thanks for having exceptional employees like Gabrielle who can take flowers and turn a time of sadness to joy.
