going to market and
taking in all the oth-

operating a small

“I plan to stay

flower shop, Center
Floral & Gifts offers
a variety of gift and

"We do a lot
of items that are
made in Texas and I
look for things that
people can’t get any-
where else locally,"
Hays said.

Pinkston has sold
the business to her
parents, Connie and
Mike Belgard so that
another daughter,
Darcie Hays, can op-

will operate and run
the business while
finishing up high

While new as
