Over the summer, Concord welcomed a new business downtown: Vintage Roots. It is a new flower shop, and this week, we are glad to shine the spotlight on it. Vintage Roots had its grand opening this summer on June 27th, 2025.
The shop sells many different flower bouquets and arrangements, premade & custom. As well as local honey and maple syrup, candy bouquets, crotched plushies, cute gifts, antique items, and they are even offering engraving services. Need a bouquet or boutonniere for your next dance? Head down to Vintage Roots.
Brianne Sinden, the Owner of Vintage Roots and a teacher at Concord Elementary School, shares with us that flowers have always been her dream alongside teaching, and she has finally decided it is time to pursue it. Sinden runs the shop alongside close family members, her mom, Betty Cole; aunt, Janet Lyons; mother-in-law, Heidi Haba; daughters, Rylee and Macy, and most of all, her husband, Steve Sinden.
Mrs. Sinden speaks very highly of everyone who has helped her in this time of opening, but especially she shares how much she appreciates her husband during the time of opening Vintage Roots. Mrs. Sinden explained, “Steve took my dream and made it into a reality; everything that I could have thought of, he made happen.” Mr. Sinden pushed for her to follow her dreams and open her new flower shop.
Sinden also shares that she has had a lot of support, help, and warm welcomes from other local businesses in Concord. Local vendors and crafters like Blossom Farms, EBMY Farms, Walker Handcrafted, Bill Felkey, Falling Water Farms, G&N Honey, Just Stitchin’, Maines Importing, Studio G, Jacqueline Hills, and Janet Lyons.
Vintage Roots is located next door to the Trailhead coffee shop, another small business downtown.
Becky Raut, the owner of Trailhead, states, “It’s fun to have another business open close to us, and it definitely helps each other out when we have more traffic coming through town, and it’s kinda nice. People will come in and grab a coffee, and then go shopping, or I’ll see them come in the coffee shop with their Vintage Roots bags… It’s fun to see that we can work together and people will have two places to be able to go.” Raut and Sinden have also both spoken out about how excited they are for the new market to open downtown and pull more business into the small community.
Vintage Roots has been a great addition to the Concord Community, and everybody is overjoyed to see what opportunities the shop can bring to the small town. Wishing Brianne Sinden and family the best of luck with this new adventure.
