Nov. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- This Friday Cornelius Nursery, a Calloway’s Nursery store located at 2233 S. Voss Road in Houston, will re-open its doors for business after being completely destroyed by fire in July of 2008.

Calloway’s Nursery, the parent company of Cornelius Nursery, began planning to rebuild that location shortly after the fire. Nearly 16 months later, the company will re-open the doors for business to kick off the Christmas holiday shopping season.

“We were shocked and devastated by the fire that destroyed the oldest store in the Calloway’s/Cornelius family; however, we were extremely grateful that no one was injured and that we were able to rebuild – bigger and better! We welcome all customers, new and old, to Cornelius Nursery at Voss Road!” Kimberly Bird, Vice President of Retail Marketing said.
