When Flor Monsalve decided to name her new venture Flor’s Multiservice, she couldn’t have picked a better moniker.
The new store at 16 Pleasant Street offers a lot of services.
Flor is a Justice of the Peace. She is a Notary Public. She is a translator, speaking fluent English and Spanish. A native of Colombia, Flor can facilitate the wiring of money and goods to family back in their home country. She will attend appointments for folks who do not speak English and act as translator.
Oh, and Flor’s Multiservice also sells retail merchandise, including prepaid phones and phone accessories and other electronics, as well as Colombian merchandise.
Dracut Economic Development held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Flor’s Multiservice on June 4 to welcome the business to town.
“I’m trying to bring a little bit of back home to the Lowell area,” Flor said. “I wanted to make it a one-stop place.”
This isn’t Flor’s first foray into owning a business. The Tyngsboro resident and her mother, also Flor Monsalves, owned a Colombian restaurant called Asado’s Dona Flor in Lowell.
