KEY FRANCHISE STATS
All you need to know about this franchise in a snapshot
Footprints Floors, a distinctive franchise in the home improvement sector, focuses on flooring installation and restoration. Established in 2008 by Bryan Park, a veteran dedicated to elevating customer service and professionalism within the flooring industry, the franchise began its franchising operations in 2013. Since then, it has experienced swift growth and expanded its presence nationwide. Footprints Floors' business model, which centers on offering labor for flooring installations rather than selling flooring products, has significantly driven its expansion.
Based in Littleton, Colorado, Footprints Floors distinguishes itself in the home improvement franchise arena with its low-overhead, home-based business approach. This model removes the necessity for costly real estate or complex leases. Franchisees benefit from not having to manage inventory or employee overhead, as all labor is performed by subcontractors.
The franchise also provides an exceptional support system, including a call center that handles marketing, customer inquiries, and appointment scheduling. This allows franchise owners to concentrate on business growth. Additionally, Footprints Floors offers thorough training and support, ensuring that franchisees are well-prepared to effectively manage their business, from overseeing subcontractors to delivering outstanding customer service.
