Get to know the Magic behind Magnolia on Jefferson
The Ammar family has an entrepreneurial legacy in the two Virginias and beyond. Debrah was thrilled to see her girls following in the path of their late father, S.A. Ammar, Jr. of Magic Mart, Inc., a regional chain of retail stores that was in existence for 97 years.
Debrah shared, “There is no greater privilege I could be given than to see my daughters pursue the path of entrepreneurship like their father did, very successfully.” The Ammar girls are gifted floral designers that approach each arrangement thoughtfully. Your intended sentiment will come to life through their attention to detail and imaginative designs.
The floral operation was met with such success The Ammar Girls seized the opportunity to expand their offering by including gourmet foods, home décor and specialty gift items. Their goal was to curate a “one stop shop” for the two Bluefields and surrounding communities for all of life’s occasions, be that in celebration or sympathy. Today, Magnolia on Jefferson encompasses everything one could need from start to finish in creating memories or remembrance.
