The flower stand outside Key Food on Avenue A and Fourth Street has reopened after a brief renovation, but a new team now runs the operation. 

Meanwhile, one familiar face from the former Key Food crew has resurfaced nearby. 

Miguel now works at Metro Acres Market, where the flower department offers roses, lilies, sunflowers, and tulips when in season, along with custom arrangements.
