The Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board has officially approved a settlement agreement that closes the case involving Flowerz, LLC and its former operating location at 318 Massachusetts Ave NE in Washington, D.C..
Under an Order dated March 18, 2026, the Board signed off on an Offer-in-Compromise between Flowerz, LLC, the property owners, and the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA), resolving allegations tied to unlicensed cannabis activity and enforcement actions that resulted in a prior summary closure of the site.
As part of the agreement, Flowerz, LLC will pay a $3,000 fine and has confirmed it permanently vacated the Massachusetts Avenue premises. The settlement also acknowledges that the lease was terminated and that ABCA had already taken possession of the property in December 2025.
The Board's order states that the agreement fully resolves the matter and requires Flowerz to waive its right to contest liability, request a hearing, present evidence, confront witnesses or seek judicial review. The settlement places significant long-term restrictions on the property owner. The owners of the building—Trusts A and B under the Quang-Lienhai Living Trust—agreed not to lease the space to any unlicensed cannabis operator in the future.
