About Kurt Weiss Greenhouses

Brief History
At present, Kurt Weiss Greenhouses is managed by the third, fourth, and fifth generation members. The current family members are the great-grandchildren of the company’s founder. The company was pioneered by Otto Muller, a German who migrated to the US. He initially started his business in Astoria Queens where he catered to New York City’s carriage trade. Later, Otto reinstated his business in Whitestone when his partnership disbanded in 1910.
Whitestone is native to a wide array of greenhouse operations. Since then, the firm stayed in Whitestone until in the 1960s when Otto Muller died. The company shifted from a retail flower shop to bigger volume grocery outlets and wholesale suppliers in the 1970s. Russell Weiss purchased the popular firm Dupuy Greenhouses and Daurenheim Inc. during the same period.
