Frank Mancuso Sr. opened the original Mancuso's Florist in Detroit in 1923 and even kept the doors open on Sundays—a rarity at the time—in order to provide the citizens with the perfect arrangement any time they needed a gift or to dress up their homes. Since its launch close to 90 years ago, the store has opened and operated every single day of its existence. They've never stopped prioritizing customer service, accommodating special requests that include creating personalized baskets for memorable occasions and delivering arrangements early in the morning, before sweethearts crawl out of their cocoons.

The family's three generations of hard work have paid off. Mancuso’s Florist won Best Flowers in a 2012 poll of CityVoters, and readers of St. Clair Shores Patch named it Best Florist in 2012. In addition to providing breathtaking flowers and plants, the knowledgeable crew can recommend thoughtful gifts and novelties. Seasonal "epic roses"—which stand more than 5 feet tall and grow between two volcanoes in Ecuador—were featured on Fox 2 News and are ideal for expressing affection to an NBA player.

Detroit Mailbox grants Canadian shoppers their own working American mailing address, so they can avoid hefty international shipping charges associated with US-based websites. Additionally, the service helps them purchase goods from US merchants that do not ship to Canada. The package-pickup service lets Canadians buy goods from US auction sites, classifieds, or peer-to-peer peddlers without having to put down payments on a home in Michigan or to teach the mailbox to recite a foreign oath of citizenship. Once packages arrive at the Detroit office’s doorstop, the staff notifies clients via email that they can pick up their cargo and escort it home. The facility also leases mailboxes so people can safely receive certified mail, packages, and payments from the Tooth Fairy.

After shooting and editing video professionally for more than 25 years, n-code’s founders reeled in their skills to the shop, where they now shepherd video projects from preproduction through storyboarding and shooting. In the onsite video-editing suite, staffers cobble footage into video ads, corporate promotions, and documentaries. Beyond video production, the shop converts videotape to DVD and creates backup copies of DVDs and CDs. Mastering and printing services equip new discs with high-quality menus and labels, and the team of web designers can construct webpages for businesses and individuals, rather than forcing them to embrace technology via business cards that feature refresh-button stickers.

A corporate conference pulses with a 3-D animation presentation. A company’s new website design brings in new business with effortless navigation. Old home movies come to life in digital format. These are just a few of the services provided by CVMedia, a video-production business with almost two decades of audio-visual expertise. Thanks to its comprehensive project offerings, local outfits can film high-quality commercials, restaurants can advertise their cuisine on painstakingly designed websites, and children can conduct meticulous PowerPoint presentations on the evils of naptime.

The technicians at Memory Transfers preserve memories stored in old media formats—including Super 8, 8mm, Beta, and VHS—by transferring them onto long-lasting DVDs. Before beginning, they back up all materials to ensure the contents stay intact during the transfer process, which utilizes flicker-free methodology, color-corrected LED lighting, and a dash of fairy dust. After the process is complete, techs print titles directly onto DVDs to identify them, rather than relying on labels, which are prone to fading and tearing. Altogether, the process takes about 7 to 10 days.
