Comings and Goings: Westport Florist Moves to 580 Riverside

Westport Florist, formerly located at 553 Riverside Ave., has moved across the street to its new location at 580 Riverside Ave.  Paul Hefferan, co-owner with his wife Sheila, said they intend to remain there for an indefinite period of time, but at least a year.  Heffernan and his wife acquired the business from the Gilberties in 1989 when it was located behind the old John’s Best Pizza on Post Road West. Then in August 2001 the business moved to a building across the street which was demolished last week as part of the Saugatuck Center development. (See WestportNow, April 30, 2010).
