Allen’s Flower Market is a family owned and operated flower shop with multiple locations throughout Los Angeles and San Diego and has been in operation for over 30 years. Allen’s supplies every flower need from a single rose to a full wedding or other social event. They are open every day of the year and guarantee same day delivery anywhere we service.
As opposed to many florists, they have a large supply of fresh flowers which customers are welcome to mix and match while our designers stand by ready to create arrangements if that is preferred.
Harry Goldman, the owner and hands-on operator of Allen’s Flower Market, has been in the flower business in one way or another for approximately 50 years. Harry grew up in West LA and received his degree in business from Cal State Long Beach. Harry is married and has 5 children and 5 grandchildren.
Harry’s talk gave us insight into what he offers at his very successful Allen’s Flower Market. Harry imports flowers from all over the world, picking them up either at LAX or in San Diego airport.
