Who doesn’t love flowers? Who doesn’t love classic VW’s retrofitted as a flower truck? The two combined are just a killer combination of happiness, you can’t help but smile when you see the trucks filled to the brim with beautiful fresh seasonal flowers!
Posies Flower Truck was established in 2017 and has been bringing happiness to the community ever since. The owners, David and Stephanie Frank of Oldsmar, Florida have been long time business owners in Tampa Bay for over 30 years. Their companies, Lightning Technology Group, Inc. an IT company (Update: Lightning was acquired in November of 2021 and is now Big Sur Technologies of Tampa) and Thunder Media Group, Inc. a web development and marketing company that services small to medium sized businesses. One would think as techies the idea of owning a flower truck would be a stretch, it’s far from it! Their entire careers have been helping others be successful in their own businesses through the use of technology and creativity. When the opportunity presented itself to own one of the coolest VW in town it was a no brainer for the Franks.
This is not their only classic VW, they also own a 1965 VW Split Window Camper bus they affectionately named Sky. “They are like potato-chips, you can’t have just one” says David Frank.
Boy does that statement hold true because adding more VW’s to the Posies family has become a real thing! A 1968 Double Cab they named Daisy was added in December 2021, a 1964 Split Window Single Cab named Sweet Pea who lives and works in Winter Park, Florida, then theres Rosie, Rain, Blossom & most recently “Newbee” who hasn’t been officially named.
With Posies popularity and brand recognition they are the bringer of people! When popping up at local businesses Posies fans love to follow wherever they go. The trucks are also popular for special events, where guests create their own bouquets by picking single stems from two rows of galvanized buckets filled with beautiful flowers or selecting pre-made bouquets, single stems and a variety of other creative ways.
From business pop-ups, grand openings, weddings, parties, photo shoots, charity fundraisers, birthdays and more Posies loves nothing more than to get creative with you and bring the happy to any special occasion! Guests will remember it for years to come.
We drive them everywhere & it’s a blast, even with the old school 4 speed transmission, no air conditioning or power steering
If you give us a honk on the road and we are in the OG just know her horn doesn’t work, we will try to give you a peace sign
We have the best VW mechanic located in Safety Harbor, Florida & we call him the “VW Whisperer” & when either VW visits we to it as a “Spa Retreat”
Posies fleet ranges from 1960 to 1971 & are all German made
There’s a large Florida based VW group called Local Volks that all of the girls belong to
The trucks have a sister from another mister, a 1965 VW Camper Bus named Sky #skyvwbus
Every great chapter has a beautiful conclusion. 💫
Due to changing commercial needs, our time in this location has come to an end. We are leaving immensely proud of everything we did, and thankful for every single memory made.
To our phenomenal Posies Flower Truck team: You are the heart of the business. Thank you for keeping everything running flawlessly over the past 2 years, especially while our fearless leader faced her health battle this last year. Everyone went above and beyond, and you kept the joy alive for our customers every single day. 💗
While we bid farewell to our FIRST 5-day-a-week INSIDE Posies shop, this isn’t good bye by any means. We learned, we grew, and you can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be our last inside location. <— manifesting! 😂
On to the next Posies adventure and don’t forget, you can find us ALL OVER Tampa Bay, findposies.com and you can sendposies.com knowing that $2 of every delivery will go directly to Moffitt Cancer Center’s Breast Cancer Research Department! You can also add a “Pedal it Forward” item at any of the trucks to collectively give flowers to the patients and healthcare heroes at Moffitt.
We love you Tampa Bay and thank you for supporting us no matter where we find ourselves together! 🛻🌹💕

Madison here…Posies is a family-owned business, and I’m lucky enough to run it alongside my mom, Stephanie, who is truly THE biggest force behind everything we do. (If you know her, you know “force” may actually be putting it mildly. 😂)
Late last year, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery and treatment at @moffittcancercenter , I’m VERY happy to say she’s doing well, she’s finished treatment, she’s back at Posies, and she hasn’t missed a beat.
I couldn’t be prouder of her. I’m proud of the way she faced this chapter, proud to work alongside her, and especially proud that something so personal to our family has inspired a new way for our little flower business to give back.
We’re so excited to officially introduce Posies with a Purpose, a way for our little flower business and our community to give back to Moffitt Cancer Center, the place that took such wonderful care of one of our own!

It’s time for us to go…
For the last 2 years, our little blue flower truck has had the absolute honor of being your “shop of happy” inside Armature Works.
As plans evolve and changes are inevitable our space is moving to welcome a new food vendor. Our time inside the Heights Public Market comes to an end. Our final day will be this SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4.
Please come say goodbye to our sweet AW staff, take some pictures while the truck sits in its cute spot, enjoy the flowers and shop some of our merchandise - everything must go!
Anyone who knows Posies knows our vintage VW trucks are more than a place to buy flowers. They’re part of the experience; bright, accessible, interactive and filled with beautiful blooms. As this chapter comes to a close, we’re forever grateful to every person who stopped by our truck, built a bouquet, celebrated a milestone, took home some cute Posies merch, or simply came to say hello. Thank you for making our little corner feel like home. 💕
Of course you can still find us every Friday and Saturday and on an occasional Sunday at the historic Hyde Park Village parked at our favorite fountain, 11am-3pm. You can continue to visit findposies.com for all of our other upcoming pop up locations and complete schedule. We’re also available for private events.
You can order Posies flowers for delivery or sign up for a subscription service by visiting sendposies.com.
To our amazing Posies team, you know what a year this has been (this story is coming next) and through it you gave 110% day in and out!! We’re so proud of you, what a wild ride we’ve been on together. 💗
And as the Led Zeppelin song title says “Ramble On” - words we live by at Posies! We love you Tampa Bay!

Just going to ramble on until Posies bed finally accepts her friend request.

NEW & only Armature Works!
Because Posies lives in the ’60s and ’70s, we just had to dive into a retro project. It took months to complete (don’t ask!), but in true Posies fashion, it’s not just any cute little red vending machine.
A bit of history: A couple of years ago, local Dunedin artist Brent Gill (@brentdesigns) surprised us with a hand-drawn rendering of Posies that blew us away! Since then, we’ve commissioned him for more—and yes, he’s an active member of the local VW community, which is just so apropos. 🤙
We wanted this vending machine to feature local artists while giving you a collectible piece of Posies history. In an AI-driven world, we love dialing it back old school and supporting our creative community.
This first series, affectionately titled “The Fleet,” features 4 of Brent’s amazing hand-drawn illustrations of our sweet truck at some of our most well-known local spots.
But, that’s not all! We’ve hidden some extra surprises inside, including free bouquets, flowers, discounts, and a few “Golden Ticket” scratch-offs. 🎟️✨All it takes is $1 (4 quarters—and yes, we can make change) to collect and win! This is a limited series, so don’t wait to grab yours. 🎰🎨
(Disclaimer: the child was hoping for ice cream @chillbrosicecream & was not mad 😡 about his Brent Gill print. 😂)
Are you a local artist who wants to collaborate on a future series? We’d love to play! Email info@posiesflowertruck.com.

Dragging the line, more like dragging the VW! A glimpse back to a “simpler” 😉 time when the Posies fleet was 4. We thought we had our hands full back then (2023) and here we are with +5 more. “Give them ALL to me” she said, and yes oddly enough this VW obsession is driven (yes she does that too) by a lady. The man in the reel does all the “dragging of the line” aka pushing, lots and lots of pushing. 💕
(Side note: The aqua colored one is Blossom who’s now living her best life at the iconic @armatureworks_tampa)
