And the proprietors were very nice people and were very kind to my dog, but the fact remains that they were not very effective merchants, Rick Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980211832572388910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-43576524685862175522015-09-14T18:37:08.273-04:002015-09-14T18:37:08.273-04:00I was a regular at Gloria a few times a month and ...I was a regular at Gloria a few times a month and found their stock to be fresh and varied. Selection could be really great around holidays when there was demand. They were a 2 man operation and did not deliver out of the neighborhood no matter where it was. Their prices were very reasonable. They did not take credit cards.

All fresh and delivered (not to raccuglia'seither). They must not have liked Rick Anderson. AND refusing to deliver to bedstuy doesnt prove racism.

You could not buy a fresh flower in the joint in the 30 years I have been living in this neighborhood.

Too Bensonhurst feeling, although once in the place, the clothing was very nice. As for Gloria's too bad they refused to go to Bed Sty. Typical of the old timers. Good luck to whoever is able to pay $6l a month. I fear, like many of the storefronts in the area, it will be a revolving door.

I don't really miss Gloria's. I was happy they were there with the terrazzo entry and classic old style storefront and interior. But they were classic old school racists.<br />When my super died they were the closest. When I told them what funeral home for delivery, they flat out refused.<br />I walked up to another florist, long gone, and he had no problem delivering to Bedford Stuyvassant.
