    FORT WORTH, TX, November 26, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This Friday Cornelius Nursery, a Calloway's Nursery store located at 2233 S. Voss Road in Houston, will re-open its doors for business after being completely destroyed by fire in July of 2008.

Customers can come back to a newly built store and see some familiar faces as Calloway's and Cornelius Nursery will bring its original Voss Road employees back to that location.

Calloway's Nursery, the parent company of Cornelius Nursery, began planning to rebuild that location shortly after the fire. Nearly 16 months later, the company will re-open the doors for business to kick off the Christmas holiday shopping season.

We welcome all customers, new and old, to Cornelius Nursery at Voss Road!" Kimberly Bird, Vice President of Retail Marketing said.
