Photo from Reece Nakamoto Farinas<\/p><\/div>\n

Reece Nakamoto Farinas always knew he would end up at his family’s flower shop, but that day came sooner than expected for Beretania Florist’s sales and marketing director.<\/p>\n

Nakamoto Farinas’ drive matches that of his great-grandfather, Shigeichi Nakamoto, whose service and mission resulted in more than 76 years of the family business serving the community.<\/p>\n

Once again, the third-generation family-owned Beretania Florist teams up with Hawaii Foodbank to generate canned goods for Hawaii’s hungry while at the same time putting smiles on faces of those in our community.<\/p>\n

Good Neighbor Day takes place this Wednesday (Sept. 10) starting at 7 a.m., and Beretania Florist is giving away 7,600 roses (while supplies last) in celebration of its 76th anniversary.<\/p>\n

But there is one catch. Those who receive a bouquet of one dozen roses are asked to keep one rose and give the other 11 out to different people they come into contact with throughout the day.<\/p>\n

“We’re giving people an opportunity to experience what we experience on a daily basis,” Nakamoto Farinas adds. “Not a lot of people get to experience that because we deliver the flowers, and we get to make people smile.<\/p>\n

“But this is an opportunity for people to create a happier and more caring community through our flowers.”<\/p>\n

Nakamoto Farinas notes that customers enjoy the reactions they receive when giving someone a rose.<\/p>\n

“You get to brighten someone’s day through the single gift of a flower, and people just love it,” he says.<\/p>\n

Patrons who pick up their batch of roses are asked to bring in one canned good for Hawaii Foodbank.<\/p>\n

Last year, the florist garnered 1,000 pounds of canned goods for the organization and this year hopes to double that number.<\/p>\n

Being a good neighbor to the community has been Beretania Florist’s vision since the beginning.<\/p>\n

“When my great-grandparents (Shigeichi and Yukie Nakamoto) started the business in 1937, it was a small shop, same location,” says Nakamoto Farinas. “They’ve always had a simple, really humble vision, and that was to provide the community with the absolute best flowers money could buy.”<\/p>\n

While preparation for Good Neighbor Day can be stressful, Nakamoto Farinas is quick to note that it’s an amazing event that he’s proud to be part of.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great opportunity for us to thank the community for keeping us in business all these years and to give something back,” he says.<\/p>\n
