Company Further Expands Experiential Offerings with Broad Range of Interactive Livestreaming Events for Public, Private, and Corporate Guests Across the Country

JERICHO, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Today, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS) (“the Company”), a leading provider of gifts designed to help customers express, connect, and celebrate, announced it has expanded its experiential offerings with the acquisition of Alice’s Table®, a lifestyle business offering fully digital and highly curated livestreaming floral, culinary, and other unique experiences to public event guests, as well as to private and corporate clients across the country. This expansion reflects the Company’s strategic focus on developing immersive experiences, engaging content, and interactive events, as well as embracing entrepreneurial concepts that help deepen relationships with customers and create a real sense of community.

Launched in 2015 by Alice Lewis, Alice’s Table began by hosting in-person floral arranging events in homes and venues throughout the 
U.S. It pivoted to a purely digital model in 2020, when it began collaborating with 1-800-Flowers.com® and Harry & David® to scale experiences in order to provide memorable interactive events, such as designing floral arrangements and creating charcuterie boards, to a broader audience of both large and small groups.

“In our continuous efforts to inspire more human expression, connection, and celebration, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. is always looking to see what the entrepreneurial community is developing that will bring inspiration to our world,” said Dinesh Popat, President, BloomNet®. “Our collaboration with Alice’s Table began right at the beginning of the pandemic, and since then it has given more than 80,000 people the opportunity to celebrate their creative capabilities – and have some fun! Alice and her team’s passion for bringing customers unforgettable events aligns perfectly with our company’s vision. As we move forward, our focus will be on developing additional experiential concepts with Alice’s Table, creating even more exciting new ways for customers to engage with our family of brands — and with each other.”

“I am so proud of this tremendous moment of growth for the Alice’s Table brand,” says Alice Lewis, who will remain with the company as President, Alice’s Table. “The 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. team has given us such incredible support over the past two years in helping us bring best-in-class virtual experiences to people coast-to-coast. This next phase in our relationship will allow us to expand our reach to millions of new customers and to deliver more of the next generation experiences our guests have come to love.”

Since its inception, Alice’s Table has offered thousands of interactive events that mix top instructor talent with crave-worthy DIY kits to provide fun-filled experiences for connecting with friends, family, and co-workers. These include special celebratory moments, such as bridal showers and birthday parties, corporate team building, and more. Currently, Alice’s Table offers approximately 10 unique step-by-step workshop themes for public event guests to choose from each month, with new themes designed and introduced seasonally, keeping the offerings fresh, exciting, and on trend.

Item 9 Labs Corp. Enhances Board of Directors with Two Independent Appointments

Research, News, and Market Data on Item 9 Labs


Names Eric C. Kutscher and Lawrence X. Taylor to Board of Directors; Adds a Combined 55-Plus Years of Experience Across Patient-Centered Healthcare, Leadership, M&A and Strategic Planning

PHOENIXJan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB) (the “Company”)—a vertically integrated cannabis dispensary franchisor and operator that produces premium, award-winning products—announced today that Eric C. Kutscher, Pharm. D., M.B.A., F.A.S.H.P., and Lawrence X. Taylor have been appointed to its Board of Directors.

“Eric and Lawrence have vastly different backgrounds that will enrich our foundation across several core growth areas of the company,” says Andrew Bowden, CEO of Item 9 Labs Corp.

Currently, the Company’s cannabis dispensary franchise brand, Unity Rd., has a franchisee-owned shop operating in Boulder, Colorado, as well as a corporate-owned shop opening soon in Adams County, Colorado, and agreements signed with nearly 20 partners who are in various stages of opening their Unity Rd. shops across MaineMichiganNew Jersey, and Virginia, among other states. Item 9 Labs is the most in demand brand at more than 54% of Arizona’s dispensaries, according to LeafLink, and has earned more than 20 podium finishes in Arizona marijuana competitions. The Company is near completing development of its cultivation site in Nevada, recently started phase one of its master cultivation site development in Arizona and is seeking dispensary acquisitions to accelerate national growth.

Bowden added, “As we look ahead to expanding our products and franchise brands nationally, their depths of expertise will be a tremendous value.”

Kutscher and Taylor’s appointments demonstrate the Company’s focus on strengthening its corporate governance through more independent directors.

About Eric C. Kutscher:

Kutscher has 25-plus years of experience leading high-performing teams and is a thought leader in the delivery of patient-centered healthcare, research, academia, and leadership. He started his career in academic psychiatry and pharmacology and progressed to full clinical professor positions at three universities.

In 2013, Kutscher retired from his academic role to pursue healthcare executive opportunities and consulting. He has consulted with well-known companies such as SpotRx/MedAvail, MeMD, UAMC, UArizona/SinfroniaRx, TribalEM/Tribal Health, San Carlos Apache Healthcare, Pill Nurse, Walgreens, Connections Health Solutions, and various legal firms. Kutscher is currently the Senior Director for Clinical Operations and Pharmacy Services for Arizona Oncology Associates, the largest privately held Oncology practice in the state of Arizona, where he was hired to provide change leadership.

“What attracted me to Item 9 Labs Corp. was their vision and focus to bring credibility to the industry with very high-quality products as well as service to help people understand cannabis and all the potential therapeutic benefits beyond just a recreational high,” said Kutscher, noting that Unity Rd. appeals to consumers in both new and mature markets, leading with an education-first approach to guide individuals to the right products. “We have an opportunity to create industry standards and help people feel comfortable exploring cannabis as medicine.”

About Lawrence X. Taylor:

Taylor brings a diverse perspective to the boardroom, combining deep financial expertise, strategy, and governance to deliver thoughtful questions and insights that help drive informed decisions. As a C-level executive, advisor, and board member with more than 30 years of business experience, he has guided organizations through complex restructurings, acquisitions, corporate development activities and capital transactions totaling more than $15 billion. He possesses an extensive knowledge of finance, strategy and operations and has developed strategic, financial, operating and turnaround strategies across multiple industries including casino gaming, hospitality, manufacturing, aviation, real estate, and retail operations.

Lawrence currently serves on the boards of Barrie House Coffee and CLP Holdings III, LLC. At Barrie House Coffee, he chairs the M&A committee and serves on the Strategic Planning Committee. Previously, he served on the boards and committees (M&A, Strategic Planning, Restructuring, Finance and Compensation) of multiple companies. He has also served as a Board Member and Treasurer on the Finance and Compensation Committees for Sojourner Center and as a Board Member and Treasurer for E Tabs Manufacturing.

“Item 9 Labs Corp. is transforming the cannabis industry by utilizing the franchise model to drive retail growth and bring their products to new markets,” Taylor said. “It’s been exciting to watch their development and I’m honored to work with their leadership team to help bolster continued success.”
