The History of Gidas Flowers: A Pittsburgh Florist Tradition Since 1910
For more than a century, Gidas Flowers has been a trusted part of the Pittsburgh community, bringing beautiful flowers and exceptional service to generations of customers. Founded in 1910 by Sam P. Gidas, Gidas Flowers began with a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and serving the floral needs of Pittsburgh families.
Located at the same original location at 3719 Forbes Avenue in Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, Gidas Flowers has remained a true neighborhood florist with deep roots in the community. For over 100 years, customers have walked through our doors knowing they will receive fresh flowers, creative floral designs, and personal service from a local Pittsburgh florist they can trust.
The tradition of Gidas Flowers has been proudly passed down through four generations. After Sam P. Gidas founded the business, ownership was passed to his son, Peter S. Gidas in 1966, who continued the family legacy and dedication to excellence. The business was then passed to Peter J. Gidas in 1988, who carried on the tradition of providing quality flowers and dependable service to Pittsburgh customers.
Today, Gidas Flowers is owned and operated by Jason P. Gidas, continuing the family tradition into its fourth generation. With more than 110 years of floral experience behind the name, Jason and the Gidas Flowers team remain committed to creating beautiful arrangements for every occasion while maintaining the personal touch that has defined the business since 1910.
From weddings and anniversaries to birthdays, sympathy flowers, holidays, corporate events, and everyday celebrations, the Gidas family has been honored to help the Pittsburgh community mark life's most meaningful moments. Our experienced floral designers combine traditional craftsmanship with modern floral styles to create unique arrangements that reflect each customer's personal message.
As a locally owned and operated Pittsburgh florist, Gidas Flowers takes pride in being part of the communities we serve. Unlike national flower delivery companies, we are a real local flower shop with a history, a family, and a commitment to our customers.
After more than a century in business, our mission remains the same as it was in 1910: provide beautiful flowers, exceptional service, and a personal experience that keeps Pittsburgh families coming back generation after generation.
