Connells Maple Lee Flowers & Gifts

Opened their new digs on January 4, 2010, just north of Powell Rd. off Route 23, the Powell-Lewis Center area. The mailing address is 8573 Owenfield Rd, Powell Ohio 43065.  After a nice phone conversation with Greg Royer one of the owner’s I was delighted that he gave me permission to write this blog.  The Royer brothers own Connells Maple Lee Flowers / U.S. Retail Flowers Ohio; the headquarters are located in Pennsylvania.

I was excited to see the new store; Stacey one of the store manager’s gave me a very good tour. I asked her what she liked most about the new location. The staff and customers love the open modern floor plan, the numerous windows which allow natural light to brighten the interior. The feature I liked the best was the ability to see the floral designers at work; the open workspace gives customers a great view as the designers are working on their floral creations.

Flowers, gifts and planters  

At the front of the store is a walk-in cooler with stunning arranged flowers in vases, the roses were especially beautiful. Stacey mentioned that in January there is special pricing on tulips and loose bouquets. If you check the company website you will find valuable coupons that will be easy on your wallet and brighten your day with flowers. As I walked thru the store I admired many items that would be a perfect gift for a variety of special occasions, there were displays of yummy candy baskets, stuffed animals and a huge area dedicated to foliage gardens.

Store hours are Monday thru Saturday 8am-7pm – Sunday 10am – 3 pm. You will not be disappointed with the floral quality and design workmanship. I have shopped for many years at the Worthington store which recently closed. Will miss the Worthington location but the new store is a nice addition to the Powell-Lewis Center area which has filled a void; not one florist was located in the area, now you and I can purchase a special floral arrangement at the Connells Maple Lee Flowers – Powell- Lewis Center location … please do stop by, this new store is a true delight.  I am looking forward to being a frequent customer, love to surprise my clients with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, it’s a very nice way to say thank you…
