About French Florist
The floral industry is antiquated, and there is a tremendous opportunity for a radical shift to level up in the industry. Older business models are losing market share like wildfire and no longer work. French Florist has been taking this market share and the market has responded to French Florist’s model, as shown by the growth and popularity of our brand in recent years. Our model is working and it’s here to stay.
As important as it is to see the floral industry continue to grow, we believe it is equally important to meet the demands of today’s market when it comes to the needs of both the customer and the business owner. By creating a new, innovative business model that focuses on customer service and embraces new technologies, we can help to create a more sustainable industry that benefits everyone involved.

History
The French Florist story began in 1978 in Los Angeles. Over the years, French Florist has blossomed into a renowned name in the world of floristry. Our commitment to service, quality, and a memorable customer experience has helped us gain a loyal following and establish ourselves a premier floral brand.
In 2018, Michael Jacobson bought the original French Florist from his Uncle Steve. At that time, the original location was doing about $900,000 a year in revenue (about 3 times the average flower shop). Approximately 4 years later, after investing heavily in software development (to run the business more efficiently) and marketing (to drive more online orders) that location did over $6 Million in revenue.
In 2023, we opened 2 more locations in the Southern CA area as proof of concept. Both of those shops did over $800,000 in revenue their first year and continue to see significant growth. At the same time, we launched the French Florist franchise concept. In the past 2 years, we've sold 50 territories in markets throughout the U.S.
Ideal Candidate
We're looking for business oriented people that are dedicated, passionate and demand a high standard. Most of our owners did not have a floral background, but had the sales, marketing, operations or corporate experience needed to become a successful entrepreneur. If you are a natural leader looking for a business that is both financially and personally rewarding, French Florist could be the opportunity that brings you the balance and joy that you're looking for.
