The Great Franchisee: Hector Perez, Footprints Floors, Texas

As the former director of finance for an entertainment group, which included Bert Ogden Arena, the 9,300-plus seat arena, and the largest indoor entertainment venue in South Texas, Hector Perez was proud to bring world-renowned talent to town. Now he is just a few months into owning his own small business, Footprints Floors in McAllen, where he says he’s taking pride in bringing history to life in homes from the 1920s.

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 100 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.
