Plasterer's Florist closes in Chambersburg; store contents being auctioned Saturday
Plasterer's Florist and Greenhouse recently closed in Chambersburg, but will be auctioning the remaining contents of its business on Saturday.
The 110-year-old business at 990 Lincoln Way East closed recently, according to a March 31 post on its Facebook page.
The remaining contents of the business, including floral supplies, greeting cards, furniture, equipment and fixtures, will be auctioned off at the flower shop by Gateway Gallery Auction starting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, April 20, according to a news release from Gateway.
The greenhouse part of the property was sold a few years ago to Grayce Gardens, the release states.
The remaining real estate is not part of the auction, Greg Plasterer said.
Plasterer is the third generation to run the business, along with his wife, Patti. His grandfather, Hiram, started the business. Greg and Patti took over after his father, Herbert, died in 2016.
Plasterer, in the release, said the use of flowers has decreased.
"We used to do 300-400 corsages for proms. Easter was the biggest holiday. At one time, we had eight people in the basement just making corsages," Greg Plasterer said in the release.
More information about the auction is available at GatewayAuction.com.
