Los Angeles is getting a very Bruno Mars way to mark album week: a flower shop that doubles as a fan hang, a photo op and a physical-media pit stop.
To celebrate the release of Mars’ highly anticipated fourth solo album, The Romantic (arriving everywhere tomorrow, February 27), his team is launching “The Romantic Flower Shop by Bruno Mars” as a limited-time pop-up in L.A. The concept is simple (and pretty sweet): show up, snag some complimentary flowers, take home a photo souvenir and, if you’re in the mood to make it official, buy the new album on vinyl, CD or cassette, along with other exclusive merchandise.
The pop-up will be open to the public for three days only, running Friday through Sunday, March 1, with doors open daily from noon to 8pm, at 5374 West Pico Boulevard in Mid-City.
If you’ve been meaning to pick up a hard copy of an album (remember those?), this is a low-effort, high-reward moment to do it, especially with vinyl, CDs and cassettes all in the mix. And if you plan to go simply because your love language is free flowers, honestly, same.
Think of it as a mini Valentine’s do-over for late February: romantic branding and a real-world errand you can turn into a little outing. So if your weekend calendar has a gap—and your camera roll could use a new main character—consider this your sign. The Romantic lands Friday and the flower shop follows suit.
