About Us

Company History

The Shinoda Family has been serving the Floral Industry for over 100 years and across 5 generations of family members. The Patriarch of the family Kumaichiro Shinoda was among the first rose growers in the state of California. The original family business was called the San Lorenzo Nursery and Flower Company. It grew to be the largest floral operations in the United States during the 1950’s. In 1986, the original Shinoda Design Center warehouse was opened in Santa Ana, CA starting with 16000 square feet. In 1994, the second warehouse in San Diego was opened. Unfortunately, the San Diego warehouse closed in 2021. That leaves the Santa Ana store that currently occupies 135000 square feet in Santa Ana. Within the industry, our warehouse is considered to house one of the largest and most diverse inventories in the country.

My company has many buyers that will need to buy in the store. How do we set this up?

There are multiple methods that can be used to accomplish this depending on how much control you need over shopping privileges. Customers purchasing tax exempt have greater considerations.

First, when registering, you can simply authorize 2 more buyers under “Additional Buyers”. This allows the additional buyer to make changes on the account or to get more cards if they lose their’s.

Second, you can ask for extra Shinoda ID cards. Any buyer that needs to purchase can just present the Shinoda ID card. This allows them to buy without giving them account change privileges or the ability to get more cards.

I need to send someone to pick something up that is not on my authorized buyers list. What do I do?

Just give that person one of your Shinoda ID cards. When they are purchasing merchandise, they will need to show the ID card to the cashier.
