Uncle Charlie’s Flowers II was sold on November 15. The buyer and the seller knew each other quite well as they are brother and sister.
Charlie Collins said he decided to sell the business due to health reasons. His sister Angie Lederle had been helping out since he was in the hospital in August. “The doctor said I should cut my hours,” Charlie said.
“We didn’t want another business to close so Jeremy and I took it over,” Angie said.
