FLWS

1 800 Flowers Common Inc

A floral and gourmet gift retailer that sells flowers, plants, and food gifts through its family of brands, including Harry & David and Cheryl's Cookies. Founder Jim McCann bought his first Manhattan flower shop in 1976 and later built the business around the toll-free phone number 1-800-FLOWERS, which became the company's name. The name is a phoneword — dialing 1-800-FLOWERS spells out the word on a telephone keypad.
