Heads up, flower fans! Our intersection is getting a fantastic upgrade with a new roundabout installation scheduled to begin on or after August 1st and expected to be completed by November 15th. While this means some changes to your usual route, we want to assure you that Gillespie Florists will be OPEN FOR BUSINESS throughout the entire project!

We understand construction can be a bit tricky, so here's what you need to know:

• We're Open & Accessible: Both of our parking lot entrances will remain accessible. There will be temporary, periodic closures to individual entrances, but never simultaneously, so you'll always have a way in!

• Navigating the Closures:

  • No Access From the West or North: If you're coming from the west (via 10th Street traveling east from Ronald Reagan Pkwy) or from the north (via Raceway Road traveling south from 21st Street), the intersection will be closed.

  • Accessing Our Southwest Entrance: Please use northbound Raceway Road (traveling north from Rockville Road).

  • Accessing Our Northeast Entrance: Please use westbound 10th Street (traveling west from Country Club Road).

• "Road Closed" Barricades: You'll see "Road Closed 1 Mile Ahead" barricades at the intersections of Country Club Road and 10th Street, and Raceway Road and Rockville Road. Please note: Traffic is permitted past these barricades to gain access to Gillespie Florists (they will say "open to local traffic").

• During Construction: If one of our entrances is temporarily blocked, all traffic will be directed to utilize the alternate entrance.

We'll be using our social media, email, text messaging, plus local and in-store signage to keep you updated with the latest access information.
