Comings & Goings: Westport Florist Reopens

Westport Florist has reopened at 1 Treadwell Ave, adding a bit more color to Saugatuck. The business was located at 240 Post Road East for the last five years, but its lease ran out. Westport Florist took over from Taylor Florist, which had been established in 1935, making the business one of the oldest in Westport at 81 years. It has three other locations in Fairfield County. Taking part in a ribbon-cutting were (l-r) Bruce Minhoff, owner; First Selectman Jim Marpe; Tina Ahlberg, store manager; Matthew Mandell, executive director, Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce, and Sandra Harris, general manager.
