Built from a Box Truck into a Flower Family

In 2027, OC Wholesale Flowers will mark 45 years in the floral industry.

OC Wholesale Flowers has grown through decades of hard work, family leadership, trusted grower relationships, and a commitment to serving the floral community.

EARLY 1990s
The Gomez Family Story Begins
In the early 1990s, Jesus “Jesse” Gomez began working in the business from the ground up—washing buckets, sweeping, learning the warehouse, and becoming part of the daily operation.

From the Warehouse to Sales
After learning the business hands-on, Jesse moved into sales and began building deeper relationships with the florists and customers OC Wholesale Flowers served.

His Own Flower Route
Jesse took on his own delivery route, working directly with flower shops and strengthening the customer relationships that would become central to the family’s future with the company.
