Folks in Kerrobert and surrounding area are happy to have the added convenience of a flower shop in town now that Lori Knorr has expanded her business. Razorsharp Barber Shop now also houses a flower shop at their location at 520 Atlantic Avenue.
When Lori had to close her shop for three months in 2020, she decided to make good use of her free time by taking a course in floral design. “I just did it for my own interest,” she said, but one thing led to another, until about a week ago, she found herself opening a flower shop in her business space. “I thought it was a nice compliment to the barbershop. We don’t have a flower shop in Kerrobert, and we definitely needed it, that’s for sure.” The nearest flower shop is located in Kindersley since the floral shop in Luseland is no longer open.
Lori gets her flowers from Saskatoon, which includes some house plants and a few potted perennials. “I’m just kind of experimenting with it right now. I’ll keep the basics for now and fill the cooler for holidays,” she said and mentioned Mother’s Day, which is coming up soon. Customers are welcome to come and see her selection of arrangements.
Lori said she enjoys working with floral design and finds it relaxing. “And it’s a good way to fill my time between clients. Eventually, I’d like to get into a coffee brand and carry those as well. It’s hard to get them unless you drive to the city,” she added.
Although she notes the flower shop isn’t a business that’s busy enough to stand alone, it is an excellent sideline. The shop is open Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and sometimes later on Thursdays. In addition, the shop will be open on Mother’s Day weekend.
