Since 1952, Johnson’s Floral has been a cornerstone of Morton, providing beautiful floral arrangements for life’s most meaningful moments. In this episode, we sit down with Paul Grethey, third-generation owner, to talk about the history, challenges, and triumphs of running a family-owned business in a small town.

Paul shares how his father bought the shop in 1967 after delivering flowers on his bicycle as a kid, how technology and tradition intersect in the floral industry, and why Valentine’s Day is their Super Bowl—with over 400 deliveries in just a few days! We also dive into what makes Morton a truly special place and the role that small businesses like Johnson’s Floral play in keeping our community strong.

Whether you’re a longtime Johnson’s Floral customer, a small business supporter, or just love a great local story, this episode is a must-listen!
