New Footprints Floors Franchisee Chose Brand Because of Its Proven Methods to Success

In addition to its premier contracting work, one significant way that Footprints Floors, a 160-plus-unit flooring franchise, stands out from its competitors is its atmosphere of integrity. Customers and employees often comment on the brand’s honest culture, which is integral to the foundation of the company’s services. The commendable values at Footprints Floors are what caught the eye of Bobby Moorhead, a former senior-level executive with a long history in the food and beverage industry. Moorhead changed his career trajectory, by becoming his own boss.

“When I was let go by my former company, I knew it was time to finally go into business for myself and control my destiny,” he said. “I saw franchising as a great opportunity because I didn’t know where to get started on my own. Franchising set me up for success.”

While Moorhead vetted several types of franchises and industries, he settled on Footprints Floors when he found out more about the brand’s culture. He saw that many of the company’s principles aligned with his own: integrity, honesty and civic duty. 

Moorhead signed a franchise agreement earlier this year and began operations in the Memphis, Tennessee area in September. He is proud to join a franchise with average system-wide revenues of over $745,000 in an industry that IBIS world estimates is worth $27.9 billion. 

“When I discovered Footprints Floors, I knew pretty quickly that it was a great company to work with. They had a great business model and proven methods to success that I couldn't ignore,” he said. “The corporate culture was truthful and insightful, which heavily influenced my decision to buy. They truly have the desire to help their franchisees.”

Moorhead has lived in the Memphis area for nearly three decades with his kids and grandkids. Being an upstanding citizen in his community and a self-proclaimed family man, he saw the franchise as an excellent opportunity to serve the area he lives and possibly start a business that other relatives will join one day. 

“My kids went to school here, and now my grandchildren do,” said Moorhead. “My wife was a teacher in the area her entire career. I’ve always been involved in local activities and schools. I believe that my tenure in this area will set me apart. These are my neighbors that I’ll be serving, and there is a certain level of trust that comes with that. Integrity and honesty are very important to me. I’ll keep those values in my mind whenever I’m with a customer. I stand by my work and pay attention to the details.”

Interacting with clients and providing outstanding service to his neighbors is what he’s most excited about in this new venture. Moorhead enjoys leveraging his customer service skills and bringing his experience to this new role.

As a franchisee with the Footprints Floors system, Moorhead has access to a wide network of support and a strong network of tools the brand has implemented to streamline operations. The brand recently partnered with financing supplier Synchrony to offer different payment options for customers, making services even more accessible. Estimates have increased 25% since last year, and owners are excited to capitalize on that surge of interest. 

The brand is searching for more franchise partners that can emulate the values of Footprints Floors. With an impressive 2022 so far, the company hopes to have a strong end-of-year and sign more agreements to expand further across the United States. 

The startup costs for a Footprints Floors franchise range from $78,505 to $113,030, which includes a franchise fee of $69,480 for a single territory. To learn more about franchising with Footprints Floors, visit https://footprintsfranchise.com/.

ABOUT FOOTPRINTS FLOORS:

Upon his return to Littleton, Colorado, after serving in the U.S. Air Force, Bryan Park noticed that Denver’s flooring industry lacked a higher level of customer service and sophistication. So, in 2008, he founded Footprints Floors, which today specializes in installing hardwood floors, tile floors, backsplashes and laminates. With more than 160 territories, Footprints Floors offers franchisees a robust support system, including a call center, flexible hours for work-life balance and a low cost of entry with outstanding economics.
