🚨 FLAGLER UPDATE 🚨
We know you’ve been waiting. We know you’ve been asking. And believe us—no one is more frustrated or disappointed by these delays than we are.
This store has been a labor of love from the very beginning. The equipment is here. The space is nearly ready. Our team is ready. But we are still working through the final permitting, inspection, and approval process before we can legally open our doors.
There have been moments when we truly believed opening day was right around the corner, only to encounter another unexpected delay. We don’t want to keep announcing dates we cannot guarantee, so for now, our promise is simply this: we are still fighting for this location, every single day.
The delays have also created a much heavier financial burden than we ever anticipated. We’re exploring every possible way to get Flagler across the finish line—including the possibility of a Kickstarter style/community-supported presale, should it become necessary. Nothing has been decided yet, but as always, we want to be honest about where things stand.
Sweet Melody has always been built with heart, and our community has carried us through more than you probably realize. Every message, comment, visit to our other locations, and “when are you opening?” reminds us how much people want us here—even when the question stings a little because we want the exact same thing.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for continuing to root for us. We cannot wait for the day we finally get to welcome you through those doors. 💗🍦
