Groundbreaking group for the new Plantpeddler Retail Complex. | Plantpeddler
On Monday, March 31, 2025, in Cresco, IA, more than 60 people participated in the official groundbreaking ceremony for the new Plantpeddler Retail Complex. Founded in retail since 1980, the new facility will allow expansion in floral, gift, and garden center product lines.
The primary retail operation will be in a 6,000 square-foot widespan steel building, with a vaulted ceiling, multilevel shopping, a central cooler, and efficient floral design space, which is invitingly connected to the greenhouse space.
The greenhouse covers 9,000 square feet of gutter-connected greenhouses with a glass south gable end, to allow maximum curb appeal. The space is designed with all fixtures movable to allow maximum flexibility in usage, including corporate events.
The target opening date for the new retail complex is Nov. 22-23, 2025, when Plantpeddler will celebrate its 45th Anniversary Christmas Open House and Grand Opening.
