The Pete Garcia Company™ has been a trusted partner in the floral industry for decades. When Corrine and Greg arrived at the company’s headquarters, they were greeted by Dave Garcia, the heart of the family-run business, who led them on a personal tour of the facilities. Dave’s knowledge and passion for the floral industry were evident as he walked them through the various sections of the company, highlighting the wide range of products and services the Pete Garcia Company™ offers.
From floral supplies and containers to event décor and tools, the headquarters was an impressive space full of innovation and dedication to quality. Dave shared the company’s history, values, and commitment to providing top-notch products to florists nationwide. It was clear that Pete Garcia Company's™ legacy of excellence was in full force.
Dave's father, Pete Garcia, founded the Garcia Group in 1970. He revolutionized the industry by creating FloraMart®, a one-stop florist shopping hub, and developed innovative products like handblown glassware. Under his leadership, the company expanded to include over 25 corporations and became a gold standard in floral supplies with divisions like Floral-Pak and Plus One Imports. The Garcia family are passionate advocates for the floral industry, serving key organizations like the American Floral Endowment and Society of American Florists and helping establish the WF&FSA Trade Fair.
