BIZNOTE: Change of plans for Flower Lab in Admiral

Last November, after Bebop Waffle Shop announced its closure at 2600 California SW, with its proprietor planning a pivot to an event space, co-housed Flower Lab was planning to transition to online-only. That’s still the plan, but it’ll be short-lived, explains proprietor Katie in this open letter she shared with WSB as well as her customers:

Wendy and Paul Damoth, the building and business has had my heart and strengthened my floral passion – I’m so honored to have steered the ship these past 4 years. Thank you for being part of this journey. This special community and its ceaseless support has meant everything.
We will be selling off the bulk of all retail, some furniture and some vessels over the next month – please don’t hesitate to come visit and maybe take a piece of Flower Lab with you!

Additionally, I would love to offer referrals and recommendations for your future floral needs, as this community has many wonderful floral designers to choose from.

With love and gratitude,
Katie
Owner, Flower Lab

I’m a bit confused. When is the Flower Lab closing?

The Admiral Junction is now 3 empty spaces and a redundant gas station.

So sad to see this!! I’m still honeymooning over my Valentine’s arrangement. Yours are my absolute favorite of anywhere I’ve been and I so look forward to the creativity and crazy unique flowers you’d pick for these arrangements. Best of luck in your next endeavors. Your talent will take you far.
