I’ve owned a historic theater for many years, and before that, I was in sales. I loved having my own business and making my own schedule. I decided to go with franchising because I wanted to jump into an industry that was more or less recession-proof and continued to have increased. I like how organized and knowledgeable they are and love having a business model that works and will be successful.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Cinnater:&nbsp;I always thought about franchising as large companies. I hadn’t thought much about franchising in the past, but when I started looking into opportunities, I saw that franchising was a great way to own a business.1851: What makes you stand out as business owners in your local community?Cinnater:&nbsp;My integrity and my honesty will help me stand out. I truly want what’s best for my customers and to help them get the most out of investing in flooring with their homes.1851:&nbsp;What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Cinnater:&nbsp;I chose Footprints Floors because it seemed like a great business for overall customer satisfaction, and they have a long history of completing great projects with great customer satisfaction. When I saw that they were named as one of the top franchises, that also played a big part in my decision.I’m excited to become a larger part of the community, meet new people, and simultaneously offer a service that will improve their investment and appeal to their overall home/life satisfaction. The whole idea of business ownership is exciting.&nbsp;1851:&nbsp;What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?&nbsp;Cinnater:&nbsp;I hope to achieve a long list of very satisfied customers that generates a lot of repeat and referral business.&nbsp; My long-term goal is to create a business I can pass on to my kids, so I want to grow. I want to hire a project manager and a salesperson in each territory to reach that goal.1851:&nbsp;What is the one thing about your story you want us to know?Cinnater:&nbsp;I’m a family man, so I hold those values close to me. I also know how important it is to have that home space to create memories in. I want to help create a space for families that is welcoming and warm so they can create their own family memories. I’m also very easy to get along with.1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming a franchise owner?Cinnater:&nbsp;Gain as much product knowledge as possible from the brand you are working with and from your doing your own research.&nbsp;
