Which code does this activity belong in?
Florists are retail establishments that purchase cut flowers, floral arrangements, and potted plants from suppliers and resell them to customers, typically preparing the arrangements in-house. The distinction from Office Supplies, Stationery, and Gift Stores lies in the primary merchandise; florists focus on living plants and fresh flowers as their core offering, whereas gift stores sell novelty merchandise and souvenirs. Florists are separate from Other Miscellaneous Store Retailers, which cover specialty retail operations outside the defined categories including florists.
