Plantpeddler Retail Complex Groundbreaking Ceremony Held March 31, 2025

Posted: April 1, 2025

On a crisp March morning in Cresco, Iowa, over sixty 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 operating in a 6000 sqft widespan steel building, with vaulted ceiling, multilevel shopping, central cooler, and efficient floral design space, which is invitingly connected to the greenhouse space. The greenhouse covers 9000 sq. ft. of gutter connected greenhouses with 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 November 22-23, 2025, when Plantpeddler will celebrate their 45th Anniversary Christmas Open House and Grand Opening.
