IN HR0049

Jerry and Nancy Brumm founded Brumm's Bloomin' Barn in 1970 and operated it for 50 years at the corner of W. 45th Street and Spring Street in Highland, Indiana

The business expanded to 5,200 square feet and was voted "Best in Region" by The Times of Northwest Indiana readers

Jerry and Nancy sourced fresh flowers from South America and traveled across the United States to find unique gifts, operating under the slogan "quality and service aren't expensive, they are priceless"

They sold the shop to long-time customer David Gerlach, who shortened the name to "Bloomin' Barn" and retained the existing staff, including one employee with 27 years of service

The Indiana House of Representatives congratulates Jerry and Nancy Brumm on their retirement and directs the Principal Clerk to transmit copies of the resolution to State Representative Mike Andrade's office
