A Gourmet Affair at The Palm

Jim McCann and Bruce Bozzi Jr.When it comes to celebrating milestones, sharing special "just because" moments, or partaking in warm gestures, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and The Palm Restaurant are synonymous with celebrations. To further this compatible relationship, The Palm announced today that 1-800-FLOWERS.COM CEO and founder, Jim McCann, will serve as a brand ambassador and spokesperson for the legendary restaurant.

 

Jim McCann's role as a brand ambassador and spokesperson was commemorated with the unveiling of his caricature on The Palm wall, a restaurant tradition. "As a frequent traveler and diner, I have relied on The Palm for many years as my 'go to' place for business meetings and personal events, said Jim McCann. "When you walk into any Palm Restaurant in the country, you know that you are going to have a great dining experience in an atmosphere that is casual yet refined- a perfect setting for any occasion."

Jim CaricatureFounded by two Northern Italian entrepreneurs with a single restaurant in 1926, The Palm Restaurant has grown to over 25 locations. Similarly, Jim McCann, CEO and founder of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, grew 1-800-FLOWERS.COM from one retail shop in 1976 to a leader in online gifting. As two businesses that reinforce connectivity and celebrating everyday expressions, the pairing of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and The Palm Restaurant is a natural union.
"Similar to The Palm, Jim McCann has made 1-800-FLOWERS.COM a brand that celebrates life's moments and places a priority on offering customers unparalleled service," said Bruce Bozzi, Jr., Executive Vice President of The Palm Restaurant Group. "He exemplifies qualities that have made The Palm a legend in its category and we are very proud to announce him as a brand ambassador and spokesperson for The Palm Restaurant. This marks the first step in a larger relationship between two like-minded brands that share very similar values."
