Pennock Floral
The Pennock Company is a pioneer in the wholesale floral industry. Pennock opened its first business in Philadelphia in 1882. Lack of competition throughout the country and adequate sales promotion enabled them to grow. It progressed into making daily express flower shipments to retailers in such distant cities as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis, as well as in Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Pennock has initiated many innovations in the wholesale floral business over the years. A milestone was reached in 1946 when they chartered a Douglass DC-3 and made the first shipment of eastern flowers from Philadelphia to Miami, with stops in South Carolina and Georgia. Pennock has locations in Pittsburgh, Pennsauken, N.J., West Springfield, Mass., Plainview, N.Y., Baltimore, Springfield, Va., Jacksonville, Fla., Orlando, Fla. and Miami, in addition to its headquarters in Philadelphia.
