Abbey Carpet & Floor specializes in offering a wide range of floor covering products, including carpets, hardwood, tile and stone, laminate, vinyl, and area rugs.

Abbey Carpet Co., Inc. provides training programs to support its franchisees, focusing particularly on enhancing operational and sales capabilities.
Abbey Carpet Co., Inc. does provide a form of territory protection to its franchisees. Upon entering into a Membership Agreement, franchisees are granted a designated geographic territory, which is officially detailed in Schedule "A" of the agreement.
Within this assigned territory, Abbey commits not to open or license another showroom using the Abbey trade name, which offers a degree of territorial exclusivity. However, this protection is not absolute.
Franchisees may still face competition from other Abbey outlets or programs, such as the Abbey Floors At Home initiative, and from affiliates like Floors To Go that may operate nearby. Additionally, while initial territories are protected, they can be reduced upon renewal or transfer based on updated demographics and corporate standards.
