Lawless Flowers is set to begin a new chapter in its story as Dan Lawless and husband Clive Cook retire from the historical Limerick City store.

Founded in 1982 by Nancy Lawless, Dan and Clive played an important role in keeping the city centre florist’s traditions of a family and community-focused store showing care and attention to every customer who came through its doors.

Lawless Flowers announced their retirement, saying, “After many wonderful years, a very special chapter is coming to an end at Lawless Flowers — but the doors remain open as the business begins a new chapter with the next generation of the Lawless family.”

They added, “Through countless weddings, celebrations, milestones, and difficult goodbyes, they have been there for generations of customers with kindness, talent, and genuine care. The time, effort, and heart they poured into the business over the years helped shape Lawless Flowers into what it is today. They would like to thank all employees, customers and suppliers who make Lawless Flowers what it is today.”

Lawless Flowers noted that the retirement may mark the end of one chapter, but opens another with Rachel Lawless and her husband, Joe Benson, set to take over as new owners and promise to show “the same appreciation for the loyal customers and community that have supported the shop for so many years”.

They concluded, “Dan and Clive, thank you for everything you have given — not only to the business, but to all of the people who walked through its doors over the years. We wish you both nothing but happiness, health, and a retirement filled with time for yourselves.”

I Love Limerick wishes Dan and Clive all the best in their retirement.
