Thrifty Florist
Sixteen Floral Design Centers To Serve You
Thrifty Florist is a family owned and operated floral design firm. Since starting business in 1989, Thrifty Florist has blossomed under the direction of CEO and Owner, Chris Rea, to include 16 locations throughout metro Detroit and surrounding areas. It is Michigan’s largest retail florist and one of the nations leading retailers of flowers and related floral gifts.
We offer beautiful, farm fresh flowers, plants and occasion themed gifts. Our floral design team is one of the best in the state of Michigan. We offer free floral consultations for customers seeking to have our team handle floral design and decorating for their home or office.
The first store was started on the Westside of Detroit at the corner of Grand River and Telegraph Road. We started by bringing in flowers by the truckload and selling them at unbeatable prices. We eliminated the middleman and passed the savings on to our customers.
When we bypassed the middleman, we found that we were selling fresher flowers than other florists in town; and much to our surprise, our flowers were even fresher than the local wholesalers in town. Customers, to this day, come in and comment about the freshness.
Our stores are customer-focused and customer-friendly. We offer quality products at affordable prices situated in convenient locations at major intersections across the Metro area. Accessibility and convenience are important to Thrifty customers, that is why our stores are open before rush hour until bedtime; even on most major holidays, including Christmas.
You will find great Black Friday and all year specials on flowers, plants and gifts at Thrifty Florist!

Black Friday
What a year 2020 has been. It has changed the landscape for us all. The way we interact and the way we take extra health safety precautions. Everything about our day to day life including Black Friday has been altered. Many people, with good reason, are nervous about venturing out to crowded stores. More shoppers are expected to shop online this year. In fact predictions are that 51% of all shoppers are extremely hesitant to go shopping in public. For that reason it is expected that 64% of their shopping budget will be spent online. This is all data gathered from a survey conducted by Deloitte.
Black Friday has been a favorite shopping day for millions of people for decades. It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year and brings in billions of dollars to retailers. The day immediately following the Thanksgiving Day holiday, Black Friday gets people out to stores in the very early morning hours. Then it is a mad rush when the doors to the mall or retail outlet open.
Consumers very often discover exceptional discounts on Black Friday. The newest fads in toys, clothes, electronics and more bring people out in droves. It is also a good financial stimulus day for the economy and sales results are watched closely. There has been a bit of a decrease in the importance of Black Friday as retailers started spreading promotions and sales special’s throughout the month of December until Christmas.
Considering the vast amount of shopping that will be done online this year, most retailers have a strategy to proactively manage the challenge. Below is how some of the largest plan to handle the holiday rush.
- Best Buy – Some of their online sales at their website started in October. So online bargains are already in swing. Best Buy will also open its doors at 5 am on Black Friday. The company will require face coverings and will limit in store customer numbers. Curbside pick up and same day- delivery also is available.
- Home Depot – This retail giant will offer both online and in store discounts from November 6 until December 2.
- Macy’s – Black Friday sales start on November 4th. On Black Friday Macy’s will have additional cleaning, employees wearing personal protection equipment and “occupancy checks to ensure social distancing:
- Walmart – The largest retailer of them all is spreading Black Friday over three weekends. While for safety reasons Walmart is encouraging online shopping, the mega retailer realizes that people will still want to shop in the stores. So instead of allowing people to rush the front entrances it will instead form single lines at the front entrance. Each patron will be provided with a sanitized shopping cart and be expected to where a mask.
If you feel you must to go out into the shopping world, please be sure to follow the basic safety guidelines distributed by the CDC.
Avoid close contact
- Inside your home: Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- If possible, maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other household members.
- Outside your home: Put 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don’t live in your household.
- Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.
- Stay at least 6 feet from other people
- Keeping distance from others is especially important for people that are at higher risk for becoming ill.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others
- You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
- The mask is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
- Everyone should wear a mask in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
- Masks should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
- Do NOT use a mask meant for a healthcare worker. Currently, surgical masks and N95 respirators are critical supplies that should be reserved for healthcare workers and other first responders.
