Congratulations on 90 years in business

Rizzo’s Greenhouse & Flower Shop is withstanding the test of time.

Now 90 years in business, the business at 203 Woodward Avenue (Route 150) just west of Avis in Pine Creek Township is a testament to the power of family.

Paul Rizzo and his wife, Cathy, their son, Joey, and daughter, Grace, are upholding the Rizzo family tradition of providing plants, flowers, statues, landscaping services and more.

Paul’s grandparents, Guiseppe and Grazia Marasco, started the business with a small greenhouse after emigrating to America from Italy.

If you know about any old-school Italian famliies, then you know most of them had vegetable gardens, fig, plum or other fruit trees in their backyards.

Self-sufficency was a strong suit of the old Italian families.

Folks, it is rare any more for a business to last 90 years — and counting.

It is due to strong work ethic and commitment.

And if you know the Rizzos, well, it is just in their nature to help people.

Congratulations, Paul, Cathy, Grace and Joey!
