STRONG CONTRIBUTOR TO OCEAN CNTY COMMUNITY - ENTERING 20TH YEAR

BLACK-EYED SUSAN'S FLORIST, Barnegat, NJ is very pleased to announce the celebration of another milestone anniversary!
"We are going into our 20^th year of business!" says owner Susan Lockner, "I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by!"
Black-Eyed Susan's Florist keeps evolving. The shop started out in a strip mall and had to move only ¼ mile in 2002 to their present (“and permanent!’) location: Route 9 at Seneca Blvd., in Lakeside Square on the border of Barnegat and Waretown. “We have always had the best of both worlds and Black-Eyed Susan’s Florist has supported more than both those communities for these past 19 years”, says Susan. There are tons of certificates and thank you notes placed for all to read, thanking BES for donations to Ocean County organizations like Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Providence House Domestic Violence Services; veteran’s organizations such as The American Legion and VFW Post; the Barnegat, Waretown and Manahawkin school systems; the churches in our area including St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Barnegat Bay Assembly of God, Barnegat Methodist Church and Bayside Chapel; Pleasant Run, Four Seasons at Mirage, Heritage Bay, Heritage Point and Greenbriar/Oceanaire home owners associations and hundreds of fund raisers over the years. There are also thank you notes from brides and little communicants and people who received everyday flowers who took time out of their busy days to send a note.
“We are extremely grateful to be able to work, shop and raise our families in this area,” says shop’s manager, Carol Speller, “Susan has never hesitated to give back where ever she can! All of us who work at Black-Eyed Susan's(BES) are very proud to know her and work for this company”. “We’re part of the roots of Barnegat” says Susan, “we opened before Barnegat Blvd. was extended from West Bay Ave. or the new Barnegat interchange on the Parkway was even a thought and well before Barnegat HS, Horbelt and the Donohue Schools were built. In fact we sure felt like we are ‘getting up there’ when Barnegat HS had their first graduation this year! It doesn’t seem that long ago we were delivering new baby arrangements to the parents of those graduates when they were born!”
“Things surely have changed over these past 20 years! One thing has stayed constant though, the people who live here in Ocean County - we couldn’t ask for better neighbors, friends and customers. It’s an in describable feeling to be part of the roots of an area. We sincerely thank you for allowing us that privilege”.
Stop in or call the shop and speak to any of the BES girls: Susan, Carol, Carol R., Josie or Marilyn, or say hi to Karen or Mary when you see them delivering.
