"As the third-generation of my family to run this floral business serving Delaware County, I couldn't believe my ears when Teleflora contacted me to say we just won a brand new delivery van, all for free. My parents have since passed away, but I couldn't help but think our winning this van was a sign from them that despite some tough times with the business, we were going to be okay," said Michelle Florio, owner and operator of Minutella's Florist. "The new floral delivery van couldn't come at a better time, as both of our vans are quite old and on their last legs. My brother who owns a local auto shop did a great job in keeping us driving and delivering through the recent Valentine's Day holiday, but the new van is a true treasure, and we are so appreciative as we prepare for our next busiest holiday, Mother's Day."

"We are delighted to award a brand new delivery van from our 'Score Big & Win Bigger' promotion to Minutella's Florist, a local florist that has been a Teleflora network member for over 20 years," said Tom Butler, Chairman of Teleflora. "We know how hard Teleflora's members work every day to deliver floral beauty and joy to their local communities, so it's with great appreciation and excitement when we can do the same for them."
