St. Albans mayor spotlights Flowers on Old Main ahead of Valentine’s Day
Summary
Mayor Scott James recorded a business spotlight promoting Flowers on Old Main, describing the shop’s decades-long presence on Main Street, its delivery area across the Kanawha Valley, and a weekly Facebook giveaway timed for the Valentine’s Day rush.
St. Albans Mayor Scott James promoted Flowers on Old Main in a short recorded business spotlight, encouraging residents to visit the Main Street florist ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Mayor Scott James said, “Today, we're going to be visiting Flowers on Old Main,” and praised the shop’s service and staff. He identified the store as a long-standing Main Street business and urged residents to stop in for Valentine’s arrangements.
Terry, a staff member at Flowers on Old Main, said the shop “opened in 2011 in Pukinger,” and described a longer history of a flower shop on the site dating to the early 1970s. Terry told the mayor the business delivers across the Kanawha Valley; in the recording Terry said, “We deliver the whole Kanawha Valley from Kanawha City, Killebrewery,” and also mentioned Milton and Sissonville as places they serve.
The recording also named Kelly Miles as a local baker who supplies cookies at the shop; Scott James said, “Kelly Miles, makes. She's from St. Albans. I mean, they're beautiful and they're delicious.” Staff explained the store maintains a Facebook page and runs a weekly social-media giveaway: the shop posts a picture on Wednesday with an entry requirement to share publicly, and holds a drawing Friday at noon (the recording noted the drawing would shift to Saturday during the Valentine’s week). The mayor reiterated that arrangements and deliveries would be available for Valentine’s Day.
The message emphasized the shop’s role on Main Street and the mayor’s support for shopping locally; it did not announce any formal city action or funding related to the business.
