What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, Floors To Go requires new members to display Floors To Go Showroom signage on the exterior of their showroom building, in the front window, or on a marquee or free-standing sign in front of the showroom. Floors To Go must approve this signage before construction. The signage must also comply with all local signage regulations.
Floors To Go requires that the signage be installed within 90 days of the effective date of the new member's Membership Agreement. However, because Floors To Go targets experienced owners/operators of existing floor covering stores, it generally does not impose additional requirements for constructing and improving a business site beyond the signage.
Outside of the signage requirements, Floors To Go does not require members to use designated sources or adhere to Floors To Go's standards/specifications for constructing and improving their showrooms. This provides franchisees with some flexibility in how they set up their showrooms, as long as they adhere to the mandated signage specifications and approval process.
