Our History
1920
Quinn's Flowers has been in business since 1920 when Frank C. Quinn, Sr. started the business. Frank's passion for flowers has been passed on to four generations of the Quinn Family. Frank had the inspiration to own his own business. This journey began with a small store with aspirations of growing. Now, 100+ years later, Quinn's Flowers is a store dedicated to the customer.
1930
Martha Quinn started operating the business after her husband Frank Quinn, Sr. passed away suddenly.
1961
Martha Quinn passed away and Frank Quinn, Jr. took over the family business. Frank Quinn, Jr. was a florist known for his generosity and a Mummer for more than half a century. He owned and operated Frank C. Quinn Flowers on South 3rd Street. Mr. Quinn was born in an apartment above the flower shop in 1928. He spent his entire career as a florist there until his passing in 1998.
1978
Frank C. Quinn, III joined his father as a designer for the flower shop. Frank, III created a beautiful array of arrangements and designs during his tenure and took the flower shop creatively into the next generation of floral designs.
1999
Mary Quinn assumed ownership of her husband’s business. From that day on she became the face and voice of the Quinn's Flowers. She managed the store area, greeted and directed all customers, and answered all incoming calls. Mary was the salesperson that you would work with when calling our shop. She had great people skills and enjoyed hearing from new people daily.

2020
Maryann Quinn joins her husband Frank Quinn, IV in relocating the family business from 2008 South Third Street to 1728 South Second Street. The business was located at 2008 South Third Street for 99 years and it was time to relocate three blocks north of our existing location to an updated showroom to better service our customers. The move was a necessary decision in order to keep the tradition of Quinn's Florist in the management of the Quinn Family. The store is managed by Frank Quinn, IV who is the great grandson of the original owner. Also joining the team at our new location is Frank Quinn, V. Frank Quinn, V is a 5th generation Quinn looking to take the business into the next 100 years.
