Moving to our new location...

Carlson Wildwood Florist was the only retail business in the town of Belleair for many years. Recently that changed when shop owner Cheryl Pacheco moved her business to 1775 Clearwater-Largo Rd.

The building they had long occupied was in need of repair, the rent was going up and the owner wasn’t interested in selling. Ms. Pacheco felt she had no choice but to move.

We loved being in Belleair. We are very close to our customers. We know when babies are born and when children go off to college. We are often involved in the good times and the bad. The Florist participated in many community events, donating flowers from everything from Garden Club meetings, to the opening of the local community center, to Rotary and the Clearwater Free Clinic.

According to Ms. Pacheco, nothing has changed but the location, and that too is not final. Last January, the Pacheco’s closed on a building at the corner of Clearwater-Largo Road and 15th St. Their hope was to have it ready to move in to last April when her lease expired. For a full year now they have been working with an architect and the city of Largo to develop the property. Plans for the building have been painfully slow, no one in a particular hurry, but the business owner.

In the meantime, Wildwood’s customers and friends have found them at the new, albeit temporary location and have been a source of constant support. The new location, on a main artery, has also brought in new business and new friends. Plans for the building on Wildwood Way are, as yet, unknown.
