BUSINESS is blossoming nicely for a popular florist who has moved premises to give customers more choice.

Roland's Florist, formerly based at The Heritage Centre, Bacup Road, Rawtenstall, has recently moved to bigger premises at the former Wash and Vac shop in Bacup Road.

The company started by Maureen Hallsworth and her husband John 14 years ago in Waterfoot has gone from strength to strength.

After moving to The Heritage Centre six years ago business has boomed, enabling them to move into bigger premises.

Maureen said: "The new shop is now nearer to Kay Street which will make it easier for customers to get to us. We have room now for more displays and more stock. The last shop was only rented so this is also an investment for us which we hope will pay off."
