What are the names of the affiliated franchise offerings that may compete with a Floors To Go showroom?

According to the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, two affiliated franchise offerings may compete with a Floors To Go showroom: Abbey Carpet and The Floor Club. Abbey Carpet Co., Inc., an affiliate of Floors To Go, offers franchises for floor covering stores under the name "Abbey Carpet." The FDD states that Abbey Carpet Co., Inc. sells floor and window coverings and may compete to a certain extent with a Floors To Go showroom. Additionally, The Floor Club, Inc., another affiliate, began offering franchises for "members only," wholesale flooring in 1998.

It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand the potential for competition from these affiliated brands. While Floors To Go grants a territory, this territory does not protect against competition from these other outlets. This means that a franchisee's sales and customer base could be impacted by the presence of these affiliated franchises in the same general market area.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the market dynamics in their desired territory, including the presence and potential impact of Abbey Carpet and The Floor Club franchises. Understanding the competitive landscape is crucial for developing a successful business strategy and accurately forecasting potential revenue. It would be prudent to ask Floors To Go for details on the locations of these competing franchises and their potential impact on a new Floors To Go showroom.
