The brand's CEO, Bryan Park, attributes the brand's growth to its powerful business model that allows entrepreneurs to cash in on the $500 billion home improvement industry. *originally published in 1851 Franchise on 2021-03-29.

Footprints Floors sold a whopping 64 franchise units in 2020, blowing past its goal of 40. Park attributes the brand’s triple-digit increase in franchise sales to the brand’s powerful business model that allows entrepreneurs to cash in on the $500 billion home improvement industry that’s been a rapid growth engine even before the pandemic. “Footprints Floors offers a low-cost way to enter the booming home improvement industry with a sound business opportunity that’s growing by leaps and bounds,” said Bryan Park, the brand’s CEO. “We couldn’t be more excited to have this momentum and to bring on so many great franchisees passionately building the brand up in their local communities.” Hudson, the “corporate refugee” who saw his job furloughed by the pandemic as millions of Americans started working from home, saw this as a perfect opportunity to become his own boss with a business he loved. Footprints Floors’ low-cost franchise, best-in-class support and flexible business model won him over. “I was immediately attracted to the fact that the Footprints Floors model doesn’t require a brick-and-mortar location, which gives me the autonomy to decide whether or not to have employees on our launch date,” said Hudson. “Most importantly, I was looking for a company that could lead to success without forcing me to deal with immediate issues or high call volumes 24/7 since I value the time spent with my family. I wanted an opportunity that would provide me with sovereignty over my schedule, and this does just that.” Leaders in the franchising industry expect 2021 to be one of the hottest years ever for franchise expansion. Footprints Floors, with a total initial investment of only $68,000 to $96,000, and multiple revenue streams in an in-demand industry without the need for a brick-and-mortar store, checks all the boxes for aspiring entrepreneurs. For those reasons, expect territories to continue to sell quickly. And Hudson wasn’t alone in noticing the value of Footprints Floors. In 2020, the brand cracked Entrepreneur's coveted Franchise 500 list for the first time. With some surveys reporting a 58% jump in project leads for home improvement professionals in 2020 and new home construction spiking, it’s no wonder investors are rushing to invest in the brand. Also, Hudson’s franchise represents the brand’s first foray into the Northeast and further proves that the winning concept can thrive anywhere. “I’m excited to be one of the first Footprints Floors owners in the Northeast, and I look forward to building the Footprints Floors brand to help make it a household name,” said Hudson. “I am the company’s 50th franchisee, and my opening will mark Footprints Floors’ 100th territory, so there is already a lot of buzz around the opening!” 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, carpet, tile floors, backsplashes and laminates. With more than 50 current locations, 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. ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - franchise growth (topic) - Home Services (sector) - Entrepreneur (publication) - business model (topic) - territory expansion (topic) - Footprints Floors (company) - Bryan Park (person) - low cost franchise (topic) - home improvement industry (topic) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/footprints-floors-awards-100th-territory-plans-to-sign-an-additional-100-in-2021-2715359).
