Mil-Jeanne Flowers & Axcenz in Portage la Prairie is cooling off, literally, after completing a much-needed renovation to its walk-in cooler. The expansion comes just in time for the busy summer and fall seasons, giving the shop more room to store fresh blooms and meet growing customer demand.
Owner Kyle Pettinger says the upgrade has been a long time coming.
"We've upgraded a cooler that's long been long needed here at Mil-Jeanne Flowers as we continue to focus on the quality of our product," she says. "We did go a little bit bigger for those busy times and seasons that come throughout the year as well."
The previous cooler had served the shop for decades. Over time, though, age caught up with it. "This cooler's been around we figure for over or close to 30 years," Pettinger remarks. "It had seen its day and served us well, but doors and things like that start to not seal quite as well or close quite as well, so it was definitely time."
