But it's a combination that's clicked for one Siouxland family. Terry and Pat Taggert run a flower shop and a Polaris franchise out of the same building at 321 W. 25 St. in Sioux City. But you'd be surprised how many guys will buy a motorcycle or ATV, and then buy their wife a dozen roses. Pat chimes in. Cam's parents, Terry and Pat Taggert, last year opened a Polaris dealership in the same building where the family also runs a floral shop.
Terry adds with a laugh.
Taggert's Flower Shop, founded by Terry's grandfather in 1917, is the oldest florist in Sioux City. In 1994, the business moved to its present location, just off Hamilton Boulevard. Of Polaris' 1,700 ATV dealers, for instance, only about 325 also carry its motorcycles, Terry says. Pat and Terry plan to turn over the Polaris business to their daughters, Cam and Sam, after they graduate from college. Cam is on schedule to graduate from Iowa State University with a degree in finance in December.
