 She opened her first store in Houston, Texas, in 1989 under the management of a partner. McEntire remembers that "[p]eople were tearing down the paper around the store before we even opened, asking where they could get the candy bouquets. I knew we had a winner!" The Houston store closed unexpectedly after one year in business after the partner left. Returning to Arkansas, McEntire opened a small shop in Little Rock and began giving away her bouquets in restaurants and banks. She redoubled her efforts when her husband's company failed in 1992.
