Freendeed Market

We’re so excited to officially welcome Blooming Flowers Creative Learning Center to the ABBA Center family! 🌸✨
Their upcoming Grand Opening on June 6th from 12PM–4PM is more than just a celebration, it’s the beginning of something special for the children and families in our community. From creative learning to fun, engaging activities, Owners, Taquanda Quanie Jackson-Williams and Ronnie Williams, are bringing a vibrant, nurturing space where children can grow and futures can truly bloom.

At the ABBA Center, we are intentional about building a hub that supports, uplifts, and invests in our community, and Blooming Flowers aligns beautifully with that vision. We are excited for them to be a part of the programs and services that are offered under one roof.

Join us in welcoming them and come out to celebrate! 🎉
