Originally headquartered at 115 South DeVilliers Street, Fiore relocated its main store to 32 Palafox Place in early 2008. The other location is still used as a warehouse for event product storage.
Pallin organized Pensacola's first Art in Bloom event, modeled after similar events in other cities, which was held April 10-13, 2008. Her Fiore team and former colleague Nico De Swert provided floral designs for the Pensacola Museum of Art fundraiser.
