South End institution Langone's Florist is getting fixed up now and will hopefully be open again in January. New operator Brian Grisel, owner of the Gilded Lilly on Wilbraham Road in Sixteen Acres and A Cut Above Florist on Memorial Drive in Chicopee, said Wednesday there was simply too much to do and too little time to reopen by Christmas as planned.
He's partnering with store founder Frank Langone on the new Langone's. "Add to it that I was very busy with holiday orders," Grisel said. "We just couldn't get it done in time." Workers are painting and fixing up the Langone's storefront at 838 Main St., Grisel said. The floors are being repaired as well.
