Flood waters chased GEM Federal Credit Union from this location on Central Avenue...but something beautiful has taken its place...really -- Flower Central is the new occupant here, the newest floral store in Minot owned by Niki Brose.

Flower Central offers delivery as well to Minot and the surrounding area. They are open Monday thru Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday from 9 to 2.
