Wild Wicks and Gifts

Wild Wicks and Gifts occupies a storefront at 9430 Griffin Road in Cooper City, part of the same Griffin Road retail stretch that includes The Show Emporium a few doors down and Goldpost Jewelry and Tasteful Thoughts farther east. Both Yellow Pages and Superpages list the shop under the same categories, gift shops and gift baskets, with a matching address and a primary phone number, (954) 765-6790, and both show posted hours of Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The name itself points to the kind of merchandise a shopper should expect: curated gift baskets built around a theme (celebration, sympathy, a holiday, a new baby) rather than a broad department store style selection, paired with smaller gift items and the sort of stocking stuffer inventory a Cooper City resident might grab on the way to a birthday party or office gift exchange rather than order online and wait days for. That kind of shop fills a real niche in a suburb like Cooper City, where the nearest big box card and gift retailers sit across the city line in Pembroke Pines or Davie.

Verifying the business beyond the two directory listings proved harder than expected. The website linked from the Yellow Pages profile routes to a generic localsearch.com placeholder page rather than an independently operated site, which limited how much could be confirmed about current product lines, seasonal hours, or ownership. Florida’s Division of Corporations shows a corporation filed in 2003 under the name Wild Wicks & Gifts, Inc., but its current status reads as a name history record rather than an active designation, which typically signals either a name change, a later reorganization under a different entity, or a lapse that was never cleaned up in state filings. None of that is unusual for a small retail shop, but it does mean the corporate paper trail cannot confirm who runs the store today.

One of the two directory listings also carries a secondary contact number with a 214 area code, which is a Dallas, Texas exchange rather than a South Florida one. That could reflect a call center or answering service used by a small retailer, or it could be a data artifact picked up from a national gift basket referral network that many local shops are unknowingly listed alongside. Either way, it is worth a shopper’s attention before relying on that particular number.

Taken together, the address, phone number, and category are consistently confirmed across two independent sources, which is enough to include Wild Wicks and Gifts as an operating Cooper City gift shop. The ownership structure and the accuracy of every listed contact detail, however, could not be fully pinned down, and anyone reaching out is better served calling the primary Cooper City number and confirming current hours before a visit.
