If you've lived or visited the Eastern part of the country, you've seen them in all the big cities, standing there stoically on the corners waiting for the next batch of cars to pull up so they can offer you a bunch of roses for $5. I would like to know who's behind it, who is Mr. Big with this army of young flower hawkers out there in all kinds of weather selling his wares?
Even though the majority can't speak any English, they seem polite and not at all pushy. Just trying to earn a few bucks while Mr. Big is probably making a killing. I stood there one day for about an hour to see how many flowers this one young man was selling. In a little over an hour, he sold about 6 bunches, $30 worth. Now that doesn't sound like much when you add up the cost of the flowers, but since the person behind the scenes buys them in huge quanities, they're probably doing ok.
Even though I'm an entrepreneur at heart, and have to admire the simple concept about getting a team of people working and selling your product, I wonder how the whole thing is setup, and just how much the people behind it are making? Maybe it's more like a team of young people working together, sort of networking, with pre determined locations, and set hours, but I sort of doubt it. I've seen the van pull up and watch the kids jump out with their buckets of flowers, and can almost picture Capone and the boys each jealously guarding his turf.
I wonder why there isn't 20 vendors selling roses at Flea Markets
like there are cheap Gold bracelet sellers? I guess there's not a lot of room to work with when you're selling your product at $5 a Pop
