Footprints Floors

<a href="https://footprintsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=real-estate-and-house-flipping-veteran-fabio-simoes-finds-professional-fulfillment-franchising-with-footprints-floors-2713332" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Footprints Floors</a> has found a great ally in new Franchise Owner Fabio Simoes. The Brazilian native and North Dallas resident worked in several different aspects of the home industry before he decided to franchise with the flooring solutions brand in late 2019. He first worked in the mortgage sector from 2001 to 2008 and then transitioned to flipping houses after the real estate crash of 2008.&nbsp;“Taking something that’s defective and fixing it up to make it look beautiful is instant gratification for me,” Simoes said. “It’s great to see the before and after product.”Simoes enjoyed working in real estate and home flipping, but he was also eager to hone his expertise in an area that wouldn’t be so susceptible to the economic climate. He opted to get his real estate license in 2014 but knew that if the real estate market crashed again he’d need a more resilient industry which led him to explore franchising.&nbsp;“A friend suggested going into the flooring business and told me about <a href="https://1851franchise.com/footprintsfloors">Footprints Floors</a>,” he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;Footprints Floors was founded in 2008 when <a href="https://1851franchise.com/footprintsfloors/footprints-floors---executive-qa-with-ceo-bryan-park-2711111#brand-latest-stories">CEO and Founder Bryan Park</a> created a business that offers state-of-the-art flooring services along with an elevated and professional customer experience.&nbsp;Park accomplished this and then some. Today, Footprints Floors offers professional flooring services and friendly customer service across more than 40 locations. The brand has also developed into a lucrative business opportunity that offers Franchise Owners industry-leading support, including a call center for customers, flexible hours that encourage a healthy work-life balance and a low cost of entry with solid unit economics.&nbsp;Simoes wasn’t immediately interested in Footprints Floors but he proceeded to do his due diligence. The more he looked into the company, the more he liked what he saw. For one, he learned that the business was rapidly growing. Footprints Floors <a href="https://1851franchise.com/footprintsfloors/footprints-floors-celebrates-exceptional-year-of-franchise-development-2712105#franchisor">started 2019 with six Franchise Owners who owned and operated nine franchises and ended the year with 19 Franchise Owners and 32 franchise locations</a>. Then there was the service itself. Footprints Floors offers a long list of indoor and outdoor flooring solutions that provide Franchise Owners with <a href="https://1851franchise.com/footprintsfloors/footprints-floors-pivots-business-operations-and-remains-a-lucrative-franchise-opportunity-amid-covid-19-outbreak-2712845#brand-latest-stories">multiple revenue streams that can help sustain business in just about any economic climate</a>.&nbsp;Simoes was in. He purchased his Dallas-Fort Worth franchise, the brand’s third in the Lone Star State, in December 2019 and the business officially opened in February. His franchise is located about 30 minutes away from the brand’s McKinney location, which is owned by Franchise Owner Alan Boden. This proximity proves <a href="https://1851franchise.com/footprintsfloors/footprints-floors-targets-dallas-fort-worth-metropolitan-area-for-next-wave-of-brand-expansion-2711110#brand-latest-stories">the high demand for flooring services in the market</a> and the high revenue potential for Franchise Owners.&nbsp;The Footprints Floors leadership team is happy to have Simoes on board to drive brand awareness and sales in Dallas-Fort Worth.“Fabio has been flipping houses for the past several years and saw the market dry up in regard to opportunity,” Park said. “Sellers are commanding more for their properties and he’s been unable to buy what he needs to keep the business going. We were a natural fit for him and his background, it just took him some time to gain comfort with pulling the trigger in a new direction.”Simoes said that his business got off to a great start but then slowed down due to the coronavirus pandemic. One thing that hasn’t waned, however, is the support the leadership team provides to Franchise Owners in terms of responsiveness and guidance.&nbsp;For one, the leadership team has increased communication with Franchise Owners and makes sure they are up-to-date on the latest news. The brand has also trained Franchise Owners on how to offer customers virtual estimates, which has helped Simoes and his peers <a href="https://1851franchise.com/footprintsfloors/footprints-floors-pivots-business-operations-and-remains-a-lucrative-franchise-opportunity-amid-covid-19-outbreak-2712845#brand-latest-stories">keep business going during COVID-19</a>. The brand also eliminated the monthly royalty fee during the pandemic, which Simoes noted has been a huge help.&nbsp;“If you are not making any money and still paying a royalty fee it takes a toll on your business,” Simoes said. “If we did get any business one month, then a percentage would go to the franchisor but if there was no business then the franchisee would not need to pay royalties that month.”Simoes has long-term plans for his Footprints Floors franchise and even wants to expand his footprint with the brand.&nbsp;“In two years, my plan is to hire project managers and expand to a different location as well,” he said. “I might even open another location in South or Central Florida.”Footprints Floors is eager to continue expanding its footprint throughout Texas and seeks franchisees in markets such as Houston, San Antonio and Waco.&nbsp;&nbsp;The startup costs for a Footprints Floors franchise range from $68,130 - $95,580, which includes a franchise fee of $60,000 for a single territory.
