We searched our local area within a ten mile radius of where we live before settling into the position we got. We spent hours upon hours watching traffic different times of the day other florist shops going into all different types of shops asking if for sale. We put letters through every empty shop within the ten miles radius asking if the premises was for sale. It just happened to be our own town when we eventually saw the shop and position we wanted, everything was right gut reaction and chance plus knowing the market dont force it sit back a little if you can I know its hard when you are pushing to start up. Do a little market research why did the original florist shut down? ask a few questions.

Good luck if you want to know anything else feel free to ask.
