Flower Vending Cabinet Case Study: SunCrest Flowers in Los Angeles
2026-09-11
SunCrest Flowers is a neighborhood flower shop in Los Angeles. Its owner Fiona wanted to sell fresh bouquets after closing time without hiring night staff, so she added a Winnsen refrigerated flower vending cabinet beside the storefront.
The cabinet keeps bouquets behind a glass front at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and controls temperature and humidity together, so roses and lilies stay fresh for days. Customers choose a bouquet on the touchscreen, pay by card, QR code or mobile wallet, and collect it from an electronic pickup door.
After six months of unattended operation the cabinet became a second sales window that never closes. Evening shoppers, commuters and hotel staff buy flowers while the shop is dark, and Fiona restocks once a day.
Can a flower vending machine work for a small flower shop? This case shows that it can. It extends opening hours with no extra employees and needs only a power supply and a small floor space.
Winnsen has built vending machines and lockers since 2006 and has delivered certified products to more than 100 countries.
