Tonic Blooms is a new venture delivering fresh flowers in Toronto's downtown core within two hours. Currently in Beta, Tonic Blooms is a simple text-activated service hoping to reinvent the "broken" flower delivery system of yesterday.
Delivered within two hours, the service keeps costs down by cutting out the middle man and avoiding a brick and mortar location. Delivered by bike, the service is currently offered between the hours of 9:30am and 4:00pm between the boundaries of Ossington, King, Yonge and Bloor.
Tonic Blooms is available through text, simply requiring the sender to provide a recipient address and phone number so the delivery can reach the intended individual. Eventually, Tonic Blooms plans to expand its delivery zone and enable web-based ordering.
