Today is the 100-year anniversary for Nunan's Florist & Greenhouses in Georgetown, MA. The business has expanded in the past 10 years and now includes a championship mini golf course and soon to coming sandwich shop.

You can learn more about Nunan's by clicking on this link Nunan's Website

As a Selectman in Georgetown, I will be participating in the ceremonies today and maybe playing a round of mini golf with my fellow Selectmen.

In 1917 Albert Nunan started the business in Saugus, MA. Some years later he relocated his business to Georgetown, MA. Albert passed the business down to his son Ken, who is the oldest Georgetown resident at 102 years old. Around 1985 Ken sold the business to Steve Flynn & Bill Guerrini who have turned the operation into a full-service garden center. Join with me in congratulating Nunan's on their 100-year anniversary.

What a great local business! The web-site is interesting and pretty - it was interesting to see that the florist offers flowers for rent! Great idea for a one-day staging and photos of a home for sale.

Kudos to any business that has such a long history of serving the public. It is hard owning a business and keeping a tradition going.

Wow Doug Dawes, You do not hear of this to often anymore about a business being in business 100 years. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Will Hamm

It is not the norm to be in business so long. They have been a good business for out town

Hi Doug

What a nice shout-out for Nunan's as they celebrate 100 years in the business. That's mighty impressive. That drone video is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jeff Dowler

It is something for a local business to have survived 100 years and also be in the top 100 Garden Centers in the country (based on gross sales)
