Flower City Gift Shop founders, Tommy and Becky Zhang, started their entrepreneurial journey by selling fresh produce on the vibrant Canal Street in NYC after immigrating from China in 1987. In 1994, their adventurous spirits led them to Cleveland, Ohio, where they discovered the growing Asia Town community and opened Flower City Gift Shop.

Zhang’s son, Danny, transformed Flower City into a modern, boutique version of an Asian gift shop in its current iteration. Deeply influenced by the Chinese gift shops on Canal Street in Manhattan and his roots in the underground punk, hip-hop, techno, and skateboarding culture, the store doubles as a showcase for a purposefully curated collection of artistic and unique finds.
