James Cress Florist Moves Back To Previous Location in PJS

James Crest is doing better than ever in it's new location on 36 Nesconset Highway in Port Jefferson Station.

James Cress Florist has been a staple in Port Jefferson Station for years. It was originally located in a house, but due to needed expansion, the company thought it would be better suited in a store located only three doors down at 4699 Nesconset Highway. 

The store remained there for almost 15 years. "We were renting our space there," said Luz Guido, manager of the Port Jefferson location. However, an opportunity came up that the owners could not resist.

"We found out the house that we used to be in was for sale and we thought we should buy it and move back. It's a lovely house. It's cozy, has beautiful colors, and is just a cute place to be in," said Guido.

So, the florist moved back into their original location on 36 Nesconset Highway in Port Jefferson Station. The owners have also manage a store in Smithtown on 115 E Main St. 

Jonathan Chimera, General Manager of both the Smithtown and the Port Jefferson Store, said the company has been around for over 100 years and is doing great. "We have been on Long Island for over 100 years and our reputation stands on it's own. We are  a full service florist. We do everything from weddings to funerals. We even do holiday decorations," said Chimera. "We are doing better then ever in our old location." 

Guido said everyone should stop in and check out the new store. "We have good quality flowers, we are an established company that cares about our customers. We can do anything they need from getting them a single flower to make a special set."

Prices range depending on the flowers. Sets range from $40 to $200 on average.

Although they moved, the hours have remained the same. They are opened Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
