The flower warehouse that Oliver and Roy go to is called Sherwood Florist
Sherwood Florist made its first appearance in the comics in 1987 with the mini-series the Longbow Hunters.
In the comics, when Oliver Queen and Dinah Lance moved from Star City to Seattle, they lived in an apartment above Dinah's flower shop, the Sherwood Florist, a play on Oliver's Robin Hood influence. The ground floor was the shop itself, while the second floor was Dinah's living space, and the third floor was Oliver's. The florist served as the base of operations for both Black Canary and Green Arrow for the duration of their residence in Seattle.
