Fresh flower stock can lose value quickly. That makes spoilage and deterioration a more central issue for florist shops than for most general retailers.
What usually drives this risk
- Refrigeration or temperature-control failure
- Power cuts affecting chilled stock
- Delays in event work or delivery timing
- Seasonal stock build-up around peak trading dates
- Water damage or disruption that leaves stock unsaleable
