In a statement on Facebook and its website, Foertemeyer & Sons Greenhouse, a Delaware fixture for over 25 years, has announced the closure of its retail operation.
In its statement, the owners shared the following:
[widgets_on_pages id=1]“We made the difficult decision to permanently close our retail store. We would like to thank our customers for 25+ years of loyalty and friendship. We are so thankful for your support throughout the years.This change, although difficult, is due to the fact that we have greater positive impact in many local communities, state-wide with our fundraising programs. Additionally, we have helped raise nearly $40 million in funds for schools and other communal groups since 1988.
It is because of this mission and influence in these communities, that we are deciding to focus on the fundraising portion of our business.
We look forward to continuing to provide our customers with our quality products through our fundraising sales. Ordering in 2019 will never be easier; our online store will be available to every group starting this spring. Please feel free to contact us to find a group near you!”
According to online magazine gardencentermag.com, the decision to close and the winding down of retail operations began about a year ago. The store was located at 5311 South Section Line Road.
