About Schofield's Flowers

Schofield’s Flowers Shop was opened in Chicago in 1896 by my grandfather, “Big Bill” Schofield. Twenty-six years later, Dion O’Banion, leader of the notorious North Side Gang became his partner. The shop played a central role in O’Banions murder, a hit ordered by rival Al Capone, as depicted on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire.” Scof grew up working in the shop, catering to customers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Gangster Sam Giancana.

The flower shop is closed, but the spirt lives on as a creative services production company.
