Founder Consultation
Is a Flower Truck Right for Me?
A private 1:1 Flower Truck Franchise Consultation with Shirley to explore whether owning a Flower Truck is a smart, realistic move for your life, money, and family.
You’ve spent a lifetime taking care of other people – family, career, community.
If you’re feeling, “I’m not done yet, but I don’t want another grind,” a Flower Truck might be the right kind of business‑in‑a‑box for this season.
This page is here so you can see what this really is and decide if it’s worth having a numbers‑and‑fit consultation with me.
Who this is for
- You’re in a second‑career or semi‑retire season and not quite done yet.
- You love people, beauty, and being part of your local community.
- You want to step into a proven Flower Truck model, not build a business from scratch.
- You’re in a position to invest (savings, good credit, or a clear path to financing).
- You’re willing to work and grow a real business, not just have “a cute truck on weekends.”
- You want something that supports your faith, family, flowers, and fun – not fights them.
Why this model
Lower investment, higher flexibility
A mobile “shop on wheels” with lower overhead than a full brick‑and‑mortar shop.
Multiple revenue streams
Events, weddings, markets, corporate work, plus the potential for steady contracts (like a $3–4K/month funeral home).
Family‑oriented and community‑focused
Stand for faith, family, flowers, and fun while becoming a joyful fixture in your town.
Proven success and industry growth
The floral industry is projected to reach $10.3B by 2028, and this model has already worked in real life.
You’re not buying a theory.
You’re stepping into a model that’s already worked in Austin and Warner Robins – refined through COVID, a funeral home contract, and nearly a decade of demand for farm‑to‑table flowers.
We won’t pretend this is effortless.
A Flower Truck is real work – early mornings, busy days, and seasons that are stronger than others (especially in colder climates). The point of this process is to look at whether the investment, workload, and lifestyle actually make sense for you in this season of life.
What happens on your consultation
On your Flower Truck Franchise Consultation, we will:
- Clarify what you want your next chapter to look like (time, income, family, faith, fun).
- Walk through key numbers and what a first year can realistically look like.
- Talk openly about the work, the seasons, and the support you’d have.
- Decide together if it makes sense to move into the official franchise steps
- (Confidential Questionnaire → deeper Zoom → lender/FDD).
- If at any point it doesn’t look wise for you, I’ll tell you that directly.
