Floor Coverings International: Leading the Way in Personalized Flooring Solutions

Floor Coverings International is a leading flooring franchise specializing in residential and commercial floor coverings, providing a wide range of options including hardwood, carpet, tile, and luxury vinyl. Founded in 1988, the company has grown to become a well-recognized brand in the flooring industry. 

It was initially established in Norcross, Georgia, which remains the location of its headquarters. The company began franchising shortly after its inception and has since expanded significantly.

The brand differentiates itself from competitors by offering a personalized, in-home shopping experience where design associates bring flooring samples directly to customers, allowing them to see how different options look in their own homes. 

This approach, combined with a strong focus on customer service and a wide selection of high-quality products, has helped the franchise establish a strong presence in the market.
