Q Florist, a beloved floral shop located on the Upper West Side, has been serving customers with beauty and kindness since 1968 Founded by Gus Bazas, this family-owned business has been passed down through three generations, each continuing the tradition of providing exceptional care and passion to their customers. Whether you’re a regular visitor or planning a special event, Q Florist is always ready to greet you with a smile and offer a helping hand.
A true “American Dream” story unfolds with Gus Bazas, a Greek immigrant who began his journey in the floral industry by selling flowers from a cart in Central Park West in 1966 With determination and hard work, he handpicked his flowers from a market in Chelsea and established a successful business that has thrived for over 50 years, now known as Q Florist.
The legacy of Q Florist continues to thrive as it is now managed by the next generation. Gus’s children, Nick and Stacy, along with Nick’s son, Constantine, work together to uphold the traditions of Q Florist. They ensure that fresh blooms are delivered six days a week, and they still make it a point to give children a carnation in their favorite color.
