The team at Freytag’s Florist is celebrating 50 years in the flower business.

At age 18, Ken Freytag opened Freytag’s Florist in Mesa Plaza after operating in his mother's garage, according to a news release.

In 1998, Freytag's Florist became a family business when Freytag's son, Chad, joined the company; his daughter, Casey, began working at the company in 2006.

Since opening in 1974, Freytag’s Florist has expanded to include multiple locations, offering in-person and floral delivery services for any occasion throughout the Austin area.
