Fact: People will spend for love.

Americans spent $66 billion on weddings last year. And, as always, flowers were a non-negotiable part of that spend. This highlights a unique market opportunity for The Bouqs Co. right now.

They already have 100% YoY growth in counties where stores have opened, with more than $1.2m in revenue per store.
