Floyd Khemai brings Hardwood Flooring Franchise to Orlando, Florida!

TL;DR

Floyd Khemai, a former Verizon employee, has become a Footprints Floors Franchise Owner in Orlando, Florida, after receiving a buyout from Verizon. He was drawn to the franchise's simple business model and potential for a quick return on investment.

Floyd Khemai brings a unique background to his new role as a Footprints Floors Franchise Owner. Having spent 23 years working for Verizon, Floyd has a diverse set of skills that he credits with providing him opportunities to work in virtually every aspect of the organization.

Floyd's career at Verizon included working as a technician and then moving into management. He describes his experience as a mixture of "the heavy stuff as well as the individual customer stuff." This diverse experience has given Floyd a strong foundation to build upon as he starts his new career as a Footprints Floors Franchise Owner.

After receiving a buyout from Verizon, Floyd and his family decided to relocate to Orlando, Florida. Floyd's wife also worked for Verizon and took the buyout, allowing them to start a new life in a different part of the country. Floyd's decision to leave Verizon wasn't about retirement, but rather about changing careers and finding a new path that would give him a more flexible work schedule.

One of the most important factors for Floyd in his new career was finding a business that allowed him to invest in himself and have a better work-life balance. A fellow former Verizon employee suggested that Floyd look into franchise opportunities, which led him to explore the possibility of owning a hardwood flooring franchise.

Floyd was surprised to find that his skills and experience made him a strong candidate for a Footprints Floors franchise. He was drawn to the simple, home-based business model and the low overhead investment required. Floyd also appreciated the industry-leading unit economics and the potential for a quick return on his initial investment.

Floyd's experience in customer service and communication has given him a unique perspective on what sets Footprints Floors apart from other flooring installation companies. He believes that the constant communication and dedication to service that Footprints Floors Franchise Owners provide for their customers is the key element in their successful franchise model.

Floyd's territory in Orlando is set to officially launch next week, and he is scheduled to begin scheduling estimates for customers on Monday, May 18. Thanks to the new virtual estimates, Floyd and other Footprints Floors Franchise Owners have been able to continue booking new flooring installation and restoration jobs safely and in adherence to social-distancing guidelines.

By investing in the Footprints Floors franchise opportunity, Floyd has set himself and his family up for potential financial success and a healthy work-life balance.
