Bill Doran Company

Bill Doran Company is a floral distributor that supplies fresh-cut flowers, plants, containers, hard goods and floral supplies to retail florists rather than to the public. The company started in 1945 in Rockford and now serves florists across 18 states from branches in many cities, with a delivery team that brings orders to florists when they need them.

The Peoria branch is at 401 NE Rock Island Avenue and is open weekdays in the morning, closing early in the afternoon and at 11 AM on Fridays, with no weekend hours. Florists who want to buy from the company can start by becoming a customer, and the company employs over 600 people nationwide.
