About
J.W. Perry, inc.
James W. Perry established the J.W. Perry Company
in the fall of 1938. The company began as a fresh Christmas greens producer,
with flower shops, garden centers and cemeteries becoming the main customer
base. As the company grew, it expanded its inventory to include basic floral
supplies and greenery, and also began weekly truck routes to better service
its customers. Our customers now span a wide variety of industries that
include: floral designers, craft merchandisers, interior design
professionals, wedding planners, gift basket packaging services, along with
many other related industries.
In 1968, Leroy and Barbara Brose purchased the company
excited about the future of the floral industry. By 1971, fresh cut flowers
were also added to the product line. In the 70’s and 80’s wholesale
distribution centers were added to the Midwest cities of Des Moines, Iowa,
Moorhead, Minnesota, Grand Forks, North Dakota, Sioux Falls, South Dakota and
Green Bay, Wisconsin.
In 1993, construction began in Merrill with a “state of the
art” greenhouse facility. Additional greenhouses were added in 1995 and 1996
for green and blooming plants and cut flowers. Today, the greenhouse has
grown to over 125, 000 square feet and supplies fresh cut flowers to all of
the J.W. Perry, Inc. locations.
Today J.W. Perry, Inc. has six wholesale locations, two
retail outlets and a transit division. Not forgetting its roots, they still
provide Christmas greens to the Midwest. With over 170 full and part-time
employees, J.W. Perry, Inc. has become a leader in the floral industry and continues
to carry on the commitment and tradition that was developed over 65 years
ago.
