"Sell the customer a good quality product at an affordable price and give them excellent service, there is the secret of a successful merchant". Frank Lazzaro's golden rule
In August of 1979 Frank Lazzaro opened a small 300 square ft. florist and gift shop located in Floral Park, N.Y. specializing in a fine collection of general merchandise. With less than five hundred dollars and just a dream, this Army Veteran built a successful retail shop for over twenty years. Along with his florist business his small enterprise expanded throughout the decades into a three store chain in Floral Park, Franklin Square and Mineola, N.Y., serving the people of Long Island with flowers, gifts and fine home furnishings. When the internet was born in 1995 he sold his "brick and mortar" shops and built a full-line E-commerce store nationwide. "You can't have too many pots cooking on the stove at the same time, you must give all your attention into one or the other or everything will burn up," Frank's most popular quote! Today, Lazzaro's is one of the many successful online marketplaces combined with a professional staff of affiliate merchants and designers with company headquarters based in Levittown, New York. Creating an excellent line of products and serving customer's needs with impeccable personal service is the key to this company's success. Under the direct management of Frank Lazzaro, Merchant, Lecturer and former White House Christmas Decorator with his award winning e-book, "Memoirs of Christmas Decorating at The White House," we will make your shopping here an enjoyable and comfortable experience. Extending to you our most warmest welcome!
