Le Bouquet by Francis celebrates shop opening in Westfield Countryside Mall

Clearwater Mayor George Cretekos helped the Peyronnet family cut the grand opening ribbon at their new shop, Le Bouquet by Francis, at Westfield Countryside Mall on Nov. 11th. The new French-inspired chocolate shop offers an array of milk, dark and white chocolates, packaged in a distinctively creative “bouquet” presentation (much like flowers are presented) to share the gift of fine chocolate with friends and loved ones for every occasion. Participating in the ribbon cutting included (from left): Nayara Keresztes; Laetitia Peyronnet; Fabien Peyronnet holding son Andrew; Francis Peyronnet; Mayor Cretecos; Anne Marie Peyronnet holding granddaughter Laura; Jean-Charles Faust, President, French American Business Council of West Florida; and Sandra Rowlett.
