Are plans underway for 1-800-Flowers to launch a new internet brand to add to its portfolio?
On Sunday, July 31, the floral and gift company took ownership of the domain name conversations.com from its previous owner Ted Fest, who had owned the property since December 2009.
The sales price is currently unknown, as the acquisition appears to have gone through the corporate identity protection company CSC Corporate Domains Inc.
Here’s a look at the Whois record which reflects the change in ownership.
