Ooltewah resident Brenda Flores-Lopez will open a boutique flower shop at Cambridge Square in the first quarter of this year, becoming the 37th business owner to launch a venture within the Ooltewah development since ground was broke for Cambridge Square in 2013.
Valley Flowers will be located on the public square at Cambridge, in a recently constructed 12,000 square foot, two story building next to 1885’s second Chattanooga location, still under construction, and the butcher shop and deli concept, Spek Artisan Meats. Valley Flowers will specialize in premium floral services for all of life’s occasions with signature designs and gift baskets for individuals and businesses. The boutique will feature a unique line of gifts, decor, and an Interactive Flower Bar for customized designs and to-go bouquets.
“Mrs. Flores-Lopez represents the type of small business owner we love to see at Cambridge Square,” said Jim Cheney, who handles marketing and leasing for Cambridge Square. “She has identified a need and she has the entrepreneurial spirit to make it a success. Every neighborhood should have a great flower shop and we are excited that Valley Flowers will be filling that role for Cambridge Square.”
