September 2009 marks the 50TH Anniversary of Delaware Valley Wholesale Florist. Bob Sr. and Doris Wilkins, started Delaware Valley Wholesale Florist back in 1959, but they actually had their beginnings in the floral industry about twelve years earlier. Just about four miles up the road from our current Sewell, NJ location; Bob had a small retail flower business and grew his flowers and plants in three greenhouses. He also sold his cut flowers to wholesale florists at the Philadelphia Flower Market on Ludlow Street.
The story goes that after several years, one of the floral wholesalers asked him to become a flower salesman for their company. He excelled in that position, and after a number of years, Bob and Doris began to think about starting their own wholesale florist business in South Jersey. When the decision was finally made, they sold their home, purchased a truck, leased a small building in Pitman, NJ, and Delaware Valley was born. At that time, they shared one desk and one adding machine. The company opened its doors on September 22, 1959.
