TIFFIN, OHIO – April 20, 2022 – Brian Ferguson, owner of Tom Rodgers Flowers, announced today that he is expanding the business into custom framing and has purchased and renovated 257 Rear S. Washington St., with plans to make it an Airbnb. Both the frame shop and Airbnb will be operational in mid-May.
Ferguson was excited to make the announcement, saying “I continue to believe and invest in Downtown Tiffin. It has truly undergone an amazing revitalization, and I am pleased to be able to expand my business and create a place for people to stay overnight, so they can experience everything we have to offer.”
Tom Rodgers Flowers was established in 1947 by Theodore Rodgers, and Tiffin native Brian Ferguson purchased the business in 2014.
