FTD Companies is a floral and gifting business that operates a branded wire‐service network alongside direct‐to‐consumer e‐commerce platforms. The company enables customers to send fresh flowers, plants, and complementary gift items through a network of independent florists and in‐house order management systems. Orders are placed via digital channels or call centers and fulfilled by local florist affiliates for same‐day or next‐day delivery.
The company’s products include premium floral arrangements, blooming plants, gourmet gift baskets, and seasonal gift items such as chocolates and home décor. In addition to its core floral offerings, FTD Companies maintains licensing agreements that allow its brand to be used by international partners, extending its reach beyond North America. The technology infrastructure supports real‐time order routing, product customization, and customer service, catering to both retail consumers and corporate clients.
Founded in 1910 as Florists’ Telegraph Delivery, the company pioneered the floral wire service concept, linking local florists to customers across the United States. Headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, FTD Companies has evolved through strategic spin-offs and a Chapter 11 restructuring in 2019, emerging as a focused floral service provider. Today, it serves customers primarily in the United States and Canada, while maintaining international brand licensing relationships to support cross-border gifting and delivery.
