Blooming Despite Inflation: Welke’s Florist Adapts to Economic Changes and Delivers Joy to Customers

Welke’s Florist, a family-run business spanning five generations and boasting over a century of experience, experienced a surge in sales leading up to Mother’s Day due to inflation impacting the economy. Despite economic fluctuations over the years, the business has maintained a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

David Lang and his daughter, Nikki Lemler, worked tirelessly around the clock to meet the surge in demand. The atmosphere at Welke’s Florist was busy but organized chaos as they noted the challenges of ensuring they had enough drivers, processors, and resources to handle the increased orders.

The roots of Welke’s Florist can be traced back to 1901 when Lang’s great-grandfather immigrated from Germany and started cultivating cyclamen seeds in Milwaukee. For Lang and Lemler, the primary goal is to deliver smiles and make every customer happy.

While facing rising supply costs, Welke’s has seen an uptick in sales due to Mother’s Day becoming a more traditional holiday where people are going back to giving thoughtful gifts. The floral shop continues to thrive by adapting to economic changes and staying true to their commitment to quality and customer service. Overall, Welke’s Florist brings joy to its customers with its unique business model that allows for same-day delivery of custom-made floral arrangements.
