Quality Guaranteed at Karmays Flowers & Gifts
Jackson, MI – Mary Lou Jennings and her cousin, Kay Mykala, started Karmays Flowers & Gifts in 1978. After three years, Mykala left the business and Jennings became the sole owner. When the flower shop opened three decades ago, it was located in Jackson Crossing. In 1990, Jennings opened a second location for the business at 1055 Laurence Ave. Two years later, the mall location closed and the Laurence Avenue location underwent a large addition, doubling in size. Shannon Maynard recently sat down with Jennings to discuss the business.
