Kim Panacek has been known as Carlsbad’s “flower guy” for 27 years. He hopes his shop on Carlsbad Boulevard will be around for another 100, but he’s also worried about the price of gas.
His business, Hey Flower Guy, charges $10 to $15 per delivery, so for now, Panacek says he’ll absorb the extra cost. “Hopefully, we won’t have to raise our prices because then it makes the arrangement more expensive and people have a certain budget to spend," he said. Both the flower guy and the mobile dog groomer say they’re trying to stay positive, but with each penny that gas prices go up they say it’s getting harder to do.
Don’t want to hear you cry baby about prices if you voted Blue. You voted for it. 🇺🇸
Biden’s America!
Yeah. It sucks … but maybe we shouldn’t be so dependent on running our vehicles and economy on liquified dinosaur bones from under our feet. What better time than now eh?
