## Story

Bryan Park, CEO & Founder of Footprints Floors, a Denver-based flooring and tiling franchise, spoke with Franchise Marketing Radio about how he got into flooring after leaving the Air Force Academy and also shared the brand’s plans to continue growing post-COVID. In the interview, Park explained how he had joined a local flooring company but was laid off during the 2008 recession, ultimately leading him to open his own business.

“In the summer of 2008, I was forced into figuring out what to do with my career after being laid off. So, my wife and I started Footprints Floors,” said Park. “She answered the phones and built out the website all while juggling a toddler and our second daughter being born in February of 2009. I walked neighborhoods and put flyers on doors to get my business started.”

Park also discussed how marketing is an important aspect of his business and something he has believed in from the beginning.
