The History of Suburban Wholesale Florists & Supplies

In 1947, Edward Core founded Suburban Wholesale Florists with a small warehouse, a handful of employees and an idea:
His company could outdo the competition by making customer service its top priority. More than 60 years later, this philosophy remains the cornerstone of Suburban Wholesale's success.

Edward’s sons Richard and Robert have guided Suburban
Wholesale Florists & Supplies through years of tremendous growth. The products available for florists and floral
        designers have expanded to include a wide selection of
          the freshest, finest-quality wholesale flowers,
          greens and fillers
. The introduction of Suburban
            Supplies offers the most complete floral
         supplies inventory in the
Tri-State area, with every florist need from containers to floral foam
to silks to holiday items to wedding supplies and accessories – all at the lowest prices!

This success was made possible by the Core brothers’ adherence to their father’s vision: Suburban
Wholesale Florists & Supplies is staffed by knowledgeable, long-time employees who are empowered
to do what is necessary to recognize and respond to their customer’s needs. The level of commitment and accountability of this talented group of people is appreciated by Suburban’s ever-growing customer list.
And with a third generation of the Core family joining the business, Suburban Wholesale Florists & Supplies will continue earning its reputation for providing the highest-quality wholesale fresh
flowers and extensive floral supplies for many years to come.
