KenNo. 19 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in –ería: FLORISTERÍA
No. 18 in my –ería collection was "florería" as the Spanish word for flower shop. Here we have the very similar "floristería," which translates more as "florist's shop" but is essentially the same thing: a place to buy flowers.
One distinction between florería and floristería is regional, with "florería" generally preferred in Latin America and "floristería" preferred in Spain. Another distinction is that a florería is a small shop or kiosk that sells only fresh-cut flowers, while a floristería is a business that sells professionally designed floral arrangements. But the words can generally be used interchangeably without much confusion.
