Floor Coverings International
Customers of Floor Coverings International don’t have to do the driving when they want to buy flooring — the franchisees do that for them. This mobile flooring company visits customers in their homes, bringing them a full selection of flooring materials to choose from. Franchisees offer customers some 3,000 products, including carpet, hardwood, tile, vinyl, slate, glass, and eco-friendly options. Franchisees don’t need design experience; they focus on business management and work with a team including a design associate, a project coordinator, and flooring installers who handle all aspects of the sale, from helping the client select floor coverings to designing the finished result to installation.
