Tiffany Florist expansion

On the one-year anniversary of purchasing Tiffany Florist in Birmingham, owners Michael Fraley and Brent Grant have announced plans to expand to a new location. The new shop will be located just two short blocks south of the original store — moving from 784 S. Old Woodward Avenue to 980 S. Old Woodward Avenue, the former home of Bridal Couture. They plan to move into the new space in January 2026. The new store will be roughly twice the size of the current shop and will feature upgraded coolers, a dedicated plant room, a gift shop, a lounge, and an open-concept design area where customers can watch the florists at work. Fraley said they are excited about having more functional space, noting that was the primary reason for the move. However, the condition of their current building also played a role. “The building itself is in poor shape. We lease the building, and it was not an easy decision (to leave) because we love this building,” said Fraley. “The building is really cool and charming but it was originally a gas station from the 1920s and there is no insulation in the building.” To help design the new space, Fraley and Grant have partnered with Woodward Throwbacks, a Detroit-based sustainable furniture and interior design studio that specializes in creating with reclaimed materials. “This shop has always had an antique old-world charm to it—and we want to keep that. We thought Woodward Throwbacks would be the perfect people to come in and help us design (a new shop),” said Fraley.
