CARLE PLACE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 24, 2017--1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLWS), the leading gourmet food and floral gift provider for all occasions, today reported results for its Fiscal 2017 fourth quarter and full year ended July 2, 2017. Chris McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., said, “During the fiscal fourth quarter, we achieved solid revenue growth across all three of our business segments. In our floral businesses, the 1-800-Flowers.com brand continued to grow revenues and extend its market leadership position. This was driven by strong everyday gifting demand combined with solid growth for the Mother’s Day holiday period. These factors also benefited BloomNet, which continued its recent trend of revenue growth. In our Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets segment, revenues for the quarter benefited from the shift of the Easter holiday into the quarter combined with increasing sales for every-day gifting occasions for our Harry & David, Cheryl’s Cookies, The Popcorn Factory and 1-800-Baskets brands. Increasing customer awareness of the everyday gifting offerings in our gourmet food gift brands is a key focus and we are pleased with the progress we are making in this area.”
