Royer's Flowers & Gifts(Chambersburg Branch)

In 1998, Kenneth R. Royer published a book titled, "Retailing Flowers Profitably," where he explained to his readers that "This is the story of a family business". Kenneth Royer narrates the story from his perspective as a 6-year-old boy growing up around the flower shop that his parents Lester and Hannah Royer founded in 1937, originally known as the South Side Flower Shop, now called Royer's Flowers & Gifts. Four generations later, Royer's Flowers has grown to have 16 stores located in Pennsylvania under Hannah's grandson, Tom Royer, and the business' growth continues with Hannah's great grandson, Andrew Royer, where there are currently 3 stores in Ohio known as Connells Maple Lee. Today, Geoff and Andrew Royer, the sons of Greg Royer (who is the brother of Tom Royer) runs day-to-day operations for Royer's Flowers and Connells Maple Lee. Royer's Flowers & Gifts has been growing for 85 wonderful years and will continue to for years to come.
