Gift Baskets now on Teall
May 05 2004 - Syracuse Post Standard, "Store Front", page C-1
Gone from downtown Syracuse's Hanover Square but very much with us is Syracuse Gift Basket Co.
You can now find the unique retailer at 222 Teall Avenue next to the US Post Office building.
Julie Briggs and Marcia Briggs have been basket cases in the State Tower Building since founding the Syracuse Gift Basket in November of 2000.
"After struggling to get through another busy holiday season on two floors, we felt we needed to move to a different type of space to accommodate our growing volume," Julie said. "We will continue to offer a retail showroom, but we gain a larger work area, allowing us to more efficiently handle our corporate projects."
They're both psyched they could shift the business only minutes from it's founding space, plus it's still in the city.
Parking is free, too.
