Business Beat: Bella Fleur offering home decor, flowers and gifts

Bella Fleur is the name of the new gift, flower and home furnishings and accessories shop being opened by the daughter-mother duo of Katie Cooper and Pokie Dean.

City officials said while Old Navy is going into part of the concrete structure, the other part has no specific tenant in mind - yet.

City officials said the part of the building not being utilized by Old Navy is configured in such a manner that it could serve a wide variety of retail needs.

His new tenant, Hagemeyer North America, is leasing 15,000 square feet of industrial flexible space that will result in the consolidation of the Tyler and Longview division.

The firm will employ 14 people at the new location.

Cooper, the daughter of Longview Mayor Jay Dean, and Pokie Dean, the mayor's wife, will be offering a full-service flower shop, vintage furnishings and gifts of all kinds for a multitude of occasions.

Cooper said the shop reflects the family's Southern Louisiana heritage.

"The company wanted to stay as close to the I-20 corridor as is possible, as this is a strategic location for distribution-oriented businesses," Zhorne said.

During this Saturday's grand opening event, Bella Fleur will be serving refreshments and giving away door prices.

New industrial tenant

Scott Zhorne, with Premiere Management, has signed a long-term lease in his new East I-20 Industrial Park at the northwest intersection of Interstate 20 and East Loop 281. to 2 p. to 6 p.

Rounding out the staff will be Cooper's aunt, Martha Manuel, Rachal Malone and Kellie Garrettson.

Old Navy neighbor

The second half of the huge concrete structure which will house the new Old Navy location at 3090 N. , Hagemeyer is a distributor of services and products focusing on business-to-business markets in electrical materials, safety products and industrial products.

Cooper said the shop will also be featuring lots of seasonal items, including the Round Top Collection, with wreaths, Christmas decor and other seasonal offerings. Monday through Friday and 10 a.
