History

Established in 1969.

For over forty years Trapp and Company has assisted clients in meeting their individual needs and goals with a splash of style through its striking floral arrangements, lavish event productions, and stunning interior design services.

Founded in the fall of 1969 by Bob Trapp, with the help of Mr. and Mrs. William Deramus, Trapp and Company has since become one of the Midwest’s top floral and interior design firms, and a Kansas City staple known for its distinguished style and impeccable taste.

It is also the home of the world famous line of Trapp Candles and Scents, which were invented in the basement of the shop by Mr. Trapp himself. Along with candles the store continues to provide top notch customer service and handpicked gift ideas fit for any budget.

With no signs of slowing down, Bob and his staff feel honored for the continued support of their clientele, and look forward to many more years serving the greater Kansas City community.

Meet the Business Owner

Bob T.

Business Owner

Mr. Trapp, a native of Russell, Kansas, is a small town boy with high class flair. The only son of a Kansas oil driller, Trapp landed his first job at the ripe age of eleven, sweeping floors at a local flower shop and before long worked himself into a designer role.

Bob studied Classic Voice at Wichita State University, but upon realizing that the life of an opera star was one filled with countless late nights and endless hotel rooms, he changed directions and headed to the big city. After arriving in Kansas City, he soon began work at the historic Liesveld’s flower shop, where he worked alongside many of the cities floral greats.

Upon opening his own shop in Westport in the fall of 1969, Bob soon began attracting a clientele composed of some of the area’s most notable figures, and before long went international. From Ambassadors, to Presidents, to Princesses, he has orchestrated illustrious events for some of the world’s most distinguished individuals of the 20^th century.
