2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers
V-Day Special with 4th-Generation Family Florist Kevin McCarthy of Family Flowers - McCarthy Group Florists
For this week's Valentine's Day special episode, we wanted to sit down with an industry member on the retail side of the business. So we called on our friend, Kevin McCarthy, 4th-Generation President & C.O.O. at Family Flowers - McCarthy Group Florists. Kevin's family owns and operates over 20 retail florist shops of all shapes and sizes from Illinois to Denver to Tampa and of course the original location Scranton, PA.
Listen in as we talk Kevin and his family's backstory, some of the Fat Guys' best and worst V-day nightmares, how flower pros celebrate Valentine's, how many holes are in a straw and much more. Wishing everyone a safe and successful holiday season!
