One rollicking party -- perhaps. iParty is a little firm founded by bigwigs: former Salomon Smith Barney executive Bob Lessin, Jim McCann of 1-800-Flowers , and LBO specialist Byron Hero. It sells more than 20,000 party-related items, including balloons, invitations and greeting cards, gag gifts, and Hawaiian luau items from about 50 iParty retail stores in Florida and New England. The company also operates an Internet site (strategic partner Taymark fulfills online orders) and offers party planning advice and information. Co-founder Lessin controls about 35% of iParty's shares. To read the full description, subscribe now.
