Jim McCann, the founder of 1-800-Flowers.com, has stepped down as CEO after nearly four decades at the helm, transitioning to the role of executive chairman. The company announced that COO Chris McCann, Jim's brother, will succeed him as CEO. Under Jim McCann's leadership, 1-800-Flowers.com grew from a single flower shop in New York City to a diversified e-commerce platform with a portfolio of brands including Harry & David, Cheryl's Cookies, and The Popcorn Factory. The company has navigated numerous challenges, including the shift to online retail and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw a surge in demand for its products. Jim McCann's departure marks the end of an era, but he remains confident in the company's future under his brother's leadership.
