The face of flowers

College wasn't for Amy Waltz, but flowers were. She dropped out of school to work at Stein's Flowers in Shillington 32 years ago, and you might say the rest is history, or certainly meant to be. She remembers, "Howard Stein was selling the shop, and I remember my dad saying, 'We're buying it.'" Now owner, Waltz and her team create floral designs, snack baskets and funeral arrangements and provide seasonal plants for their dedicated customers. "It's like Cheers here," says Waltz, mother of two beautiful children, Sophia and Vincent. "We know families through generations and generations. It never gets old hearing how happy our work makes them, and we love being able to bring a smile to someone who was experiencing sadness." It's that kind of personal service that keeps customers coming back and that you can expect when working with Stein's Flowers for your everyday and once-in-a-lifetime moments. There's a reason Stein's is a six-time Best of Berks winner and a five-time People's Choice leader, after all.
