Meet Charene Pratt
Charene Pratt got into the floral business at a young age. Growing up in Dawson Creek, she got her first job at the age of 15 in a local flower shop. She worked there for several years and decided to train as a florist, getting lots of business experience along the way. After taking a break for a few years to become a mom, she knew she was ready to get back into the floral business. She bought her own shop in 1997.
Originally, the business was a franchise. Soon, though, Charene began to see that there was a need for a broader range of services, such as wedding and event planning, which she was unable to offer as a franchise business. So she went independent and was able to expand. Today, her business is able to offer complete event planning services including flowers and rentals. Flowers by Charene has since become the first and last stop for local brides and others hoping to throw a successful celebration. Charene gets a sense of satisfaction out of helping people plan their events, especially significant ones like weddings. The smiles on a couples face when the big day is over makes it well worth it.
Charene has always loved her small town community of Dawson Creek. It has a distinctive close-knit, family atmosphere, yet is continually welcoming of new residents. She has seen tremendous change and growth in Dawson Creek in her more than 20 years in business here, but somehow Dawson Creek has managed to retain its character and charm. A big part of that ability, Charene believes, has to do with small businesses and their owners who work tirelessly to provide their services. Charene, who loves to travel, notes that she's been to many different Canadian cities and is adamant that Dawson Creek has everything that other cities have to offer in the way of services and products, and friendlier, more personalized customer service than any big city on the map.
