Flora & Fern LLC
Deb Burgess on Sept. 3 opened a floral and home decor store, selling goods in the style she created in co-founding Aviary Cafe and Creperie LLC. Burgess, who with husband Mark last year sold Aviary Cafe, launched Flora & Fern LLC at 1717 E. Cherokee St., Ste. 105 to sell specialty houseplants, such as hanging orchids, topiaries and mounted staghorn ferns, vintage furniture, handmade jewelry and art. Items familiar to Aviary Cafe customers, such as a mounted deer head wearing a sweater, also are available. Burgess signed a three-year lease with options for the 1,500-square-foot space. She declined to disclose startup costs or lease terms with building owner J. Haik Properties LLC. The retail center, near Cherokee Street and Glenstone Avenue, also houses Early Bird Breakfast Pub and a few other retail shops.
