Bella Rosa Flower Market has moved from its original downtown location to 8th & Railroad Center and added new inventory with an emphasis on plants.

“We are loving our new space and the location. We are beyond happy and excited to remain part of the downtown community,” owner Leigh McCoy said

The flower shop originally opened in the Jones421 Building. Moving to 8th & Railroad at 401 E. Eighth St. allows the business to reach a new customer base, she added.

“We love participating in the First Friday Block Parties and experiencing all the foot traffic the East Bank has to offer,” she said.

“Our larger location has also allowed us to expand our retail space. We are offering new lines and products, with an addition of a larger plant selection. Additionally, we have expanded our flower cooler space, giving us the opportunity to offer a wider variety of flowers.”

In the new location, the owners are most excited to reach a whole new demographic of people, she said.

“Our goal at Bella Rosa is to provide the utmost customer service while providing a superior product. By expanding our retail lines and floral operations, we are able to offer our customers a worthwhile shopping experience,” McCoy said.

Bella Rosa’s hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
