OUR STORY How a Business Started

Like all businesses, our business has a story. To tell this story, we have to start in 1974 when Lava Lamps, Platform Shoes, Abba, and Charlie's Angels were all the rave. Our story begins in Central, Alabama, with two main characters, Ricky and Kathy Smith.

Ricky worked at a local grocery store when his wife, Kathy, began working parttime, assisting with day-to-day operations for a couple at Wholesale Floral Mart.

The wholesale company sold silk flowers and supplies to retail florists. The owner had a van and a sales route. He called upon florists inside and outside of the Shoals area.

Ricky & Kathy Smith

Over the course of a year, the couple owning the wholesale floral business decided they were ready to sell the worked closed, and he found himself in need of a job. He took on the owner's route and loved meeting the customers and making the sale.

Ricky and Kathy decided to purchase Wholesale Floral Mart in 1975. It was renamed Smith Wholesale Floral, Inc. Ricky and Kathy owned and operated their wholesale business from multiple locations in the Shoals until moving to the current location on Montgomery Ave in Sheffield, Alabama. Ricky grew his routes to include places like Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and the Carolinas.

Fast forward to 1983 when David Christopher Smith was born to his parents, Ricky and Kathy, and to his big sister, Amy. He grew up going to floral shows, markets, and on truck routes with his parents. As a teenager, he worked in the warehouse unloading trucks, stacking boxes, assisting customers, and he tried his hand at driving his Dad's sales route. He also began to experiment with floral design.

His artistic abilities became evident over time. He could create amazing floral pieces offering unique designs and entered and won numerous nationwide floral competitions.

David and wife, Jennifer, at the Atlanta Market

As the wholesale floral industry began to experience a shift during the recession, David decided it was time to offer their products to the Atlanta Market in order to reach a broader customer base. The company started off in the temporary spaces.

While in Atlanta, importers began to take note of his design abilities giving him opportunities to design and develop products. He has made numerous trips to China manufacturers creating the David Christopher's Collection as we know it. Smith Wholesale Floral became David Christopher's Collection, and in 2007, David had an idea, "Let's open a retail store." David wanted to be able to offer artificial floral designs and high-quality home decor. David Christopher's was opened in Florence, Alabama.

It was tough convincing David to name the store "David Christopher's" after himself, but his mom and wife finally persuaded him it was a good name for the business. David began to take on more and more responsibilities at the wholesale store, and he began to shift the focus from wholesaler to importer. He was designing a vast majority of the products and importing them. He was needed at the retail store and the wholesale store, and it became a challenge to be available at both stores. The wholesale store, located in Sheffield, had room to accommodate a retail store, so the decision to move the retail store to Sheffield was the best decision for the future of the store. With both stores being under the same roof, David could focus Continued on Page 2

on managing both locations at one time. David Christopher's, the retail store, has been located in Sheffield, Alabama, since 2012. It has been an excellent location and a destination store. Customers drive in from the surrounding areas, and many make the trip from Tennessee and Mississippi.

After much prayer, Jennifer, David's wife, left her job at the University of North Alabama in 2016 to assist David with human resources, marketing, and day-to-day operations of the store. Not all families can work together, but it has worked for us.

David Christopher's Collection, the import company, now has a permanent showroom at AmericasMart in Atlanta, Georgia. Retailers from all over the world attend market and place orders. While shopping in retail stores nationwide, look for green and white tags that say "DC's Collection." David designed a majority of the items seen in this catalog. We are thankful for the opportunity to represent Christ in the marketplace to one another, to our employees, and our customers. We are grateful for opened and closed doors. We are thankful for the people who have supported us and cheered us on from day one. We strive to provide excellent customer service, quality products, and affordable prices.
