A local florist, Nook Flowers, has decided to close on Valentine's Day due to the soaring flower prices during this period.
Some would argue that the ethos of business is “business is business”. But who is to say that is the only way to go? While the nature of conducting business is to earn profit, some might argue, at what cost. Such is the strong stand taken by a local florist that is closed for business today. What is today? Not just any regular Wednesday. It’s Valentine’s Day.
A peek at their Instagram page found that not only is Nook Flowers closed today but they have been since 10 February and will only reopen 19 February. That’s a good one week break during the most commercialised celebration of the year where many would buy flowers for their other halves. So why is Nook closed? Their decision is tied to the fact that flower prices would soar during this period and if they do not want to pass the cost on to their clients, they would have to absorb the difference
