Polites Florist

Polites Florist is a family-owned floral design firm and gift shop serving Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding Delaware Valley communities, with three locations in Upper Darby, Springfield, and Drexel Hill. The shop offers farm-fresh flower arrangements, green and flowering plants, gift baskets, and sympathy florals including casket sprays and standing tributes, with same-day local and nationwide delivery available. Founded in 1908 by Frank L. Polites, who began selling flowers from a street cart after immigrating from Sparta, Greece in 1887; the business has been family-owned and operated across three generations, expanding to three locations with greenhouses formerly in Wynnewood. Polites Florist delivers throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, including to major hospitals, funeral homes, and cemeteries, and offers nationwide same-day delivery through a network of partner florists. Reviewers highlight fresh, fragrant flowers, accommodating staff who work with short notice and limited budgets, and responsive customer service when issues arise; one reviewer noted an arrangement made in under 40 minutes for $25.
