FEATURED IMPACT NOWOPEN After running an online oral design and delivery company for six years, local orist Amanda Bowman opened her own storefront March 22 at 7626 Fry Road, Ste. 400, Cypress. The shop, Amanda Bee’s Floral Designs , specializes in one-of-a-kind posey arrangements and delivery. Bowman said she and her team visit a local ower wholesaler every week to handpick the owers used in arrangements, which she said is meant to ensure the quality, variety and uniqueness of each piece. “Each and every posey is made up of fresh, seasonal owers and artfully wrapped in pretty paper,” Bowman said. “Though we have my favorite orals, the posies are never the same twice.” All arrangements are made in house and designed by Bowman, who said she does not replicate designs from other designers. Customers can order one-time deliveries or sign up for a subscription service. The shop also oers design arrangements for weddings, special events, and sympathy and bereavement, and it can customize arrangements for other occasions. In addition, the shop features artisanal pieces made by Houston artists, including candles, jewelry and home decor, among other items. 832-427-1372. www.amandabeeoral.com store. A Cy-Fair store located at 10900 FM 1960, Houston, received the rollout in April. The GenNext mod- el features larger and more colorful showrooms that consist of new items, and preleased items occupy a separate, smaller showroom. Same-day delivery services are available for much of the merchandise, and the former process of filling out paperwork for lease approval has been replaced by in-store computer kiosks and a mobile platform. www.aarons.com
