What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floors To Go FDD, franchisees must meet several operational standards for their showrooms. Floors To Go requires each member to purchase a minimum of $350,000 or 80% of their total floor covering and window treatment purchases, whichever is greater, through the FTG System during each calendar year following the opening of each showroom. This requirement goes into effect three months after the effective date of the agreement. Only floor covering and window treatment products that Floors To Go designates as part of the FTG System qualify towards the minimum purchase requirements.
In addition to the purchase requirements, Floors To Go expects franchisees to adhere to high ethical standards, maintain the premises and any vehicles or signs displaying FTG marks in a safe, neat, clean, orderly, and good condition. Franchisees must also maintain a competent, conscientious, and qualified sales and installation staff. Training each employee in the types and quality of Floors To Go floor coverings and familiarizing employees with the price list is also required to the extent necessary for the employee to perform their duties.
Furthermore, Floors To Go requires franchisees to make prompt payments to merchandise vendors and manufacturers, maintain reasonable financial stability and good credit standing, and maintain good customer relations. Franchisees are also expected to follow reasonable recommendations made by Floors To Go to ensure that the operation of the showroom does not damage the reputation of Floors To Go or other members. These operational requirements are part of the FTG commitment and are designed to ensure consistency and quality across all Floors To Go showrooms.
