September 24, 2007 - Tulsa, Okla. – Under The Sun Garden Center, a local gardening shop that offers quality seasonal flowering plants as well as home and holiday décor is the first in its industry to franchise.

“We are thrilled to be the only Garden Center franchise,” said Craig Bay, owner of Under The Sun Garden Centers. “We are looking forward to sharing our unique brand, quality products and exceptional customer service in the gardening industry with other cities throughout the United States.”

Under The Sun Garden Center’s slogan “For Blooming Everything” captures the essence of the business. By focusing on annuals, perennials, herbs and hanging baskets with huge color and great variety; and not offering hoses, rakes and mass produced gardening items, Under the Sun has created a unique garden center business.

Its neighborhood locations in high traffic areas feature large brilliantly decorated displays street side creating a beautiful presentation in front of the Garden Center. This focus on color and creativity is in sharp contrast to the typical greenhouse-styled garden center.

Under The Sun sells only the highest quality flowers and is not self-service like big box retailers. Instead, it features a knowledgeable staff that is passionate about gardening and shares this common bond with the customers. From annuals and perennials in the spring to asters, mums, pansies and pumpkins in the fall, Under The Sun specializes in color and creates a unique atmosphere for every season.

Under the Sun started out as Tulsa Flowers in May 1992 in Tulsa at the corner of 41st and Hudson when Owner Craig Bay sold spring flowers from a tent. In 1994 Bay opened at the corner of 91st and Sheridan in Tulsa, Okla., and it became Under The Sun Garden Center in 1999. The Company currently has three locations in Tulsa, Okla.; four locations in Oklahoma City; one in Claremore, Okla. and one in Edmond, Okla. Under The Sun’s franchise concept locations are in Edmond and Tulsa.
