Springfield's oldest flower shop has closed after 93 years of serving the Springfield community as a local floral retailer.
Fifth Street Flower Shop at 739 S. 5th St. in downtown Springfield closed on May 17, according to owners Sara and Doug Camp, who announced the closure of the business on Monday.
The couple cited personal and financial reasons for the abrupt closure. "We thank all our loyal customers for years of support," Sara Camp said on social media. "Please continue to shop local."
