Artistic Florals by Leslie sees Valentine’s Day rush

SUPERIOR, Wis. — With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, many shoppers are scrambling for last-minute gifts, and one local shop is keeping up with the rush.

Artistic Florals by Leslie in Superior is ready for the special day, offering everything from fresh flower arrangements and house plants to candy and stuffed animals. Shoppers can order roses wrapped or boxed, with a variety of mixed arrangements to choose from.

“It’s pretty crazy, because you have times, you know, timed orders and people wanting things at the last minute, and your week work late, and you get up early and come in the morning early too.”

While classic red roses remain the most popular pick, those looking for something different have plenty of choices. Leslie says, “whatever color you want, we have it.”

“What’s fun about it is just helping people and getting excited about helping pick them out what they help them pick out what they want. Our designers are working hard.”

Although Valentine’s Day comes just once a year, the sentiment behind a bouquet of flowers can stand the test of time.
