Mary Gonzalez recently expanded her chain of flower shops. As the only small flower shop located in major airports in the Midwest, she has a unique operation. She has 72 employees in 30 shops, and although her company isn’t dominant in its industry, her shops are busy year round. To accommodate her unique clientele, Mary developed the idea of packaging flowers in small waterproof pots that won’t leak either in the airport or aboard planes.
-Gonzalez's business is not a small business because it's unique in the flower-shop industry.
