FTG offers you a marketing and merchandising system for selling floor covering and window treatment products to consumers from your store's location ("Showroom"). The FTG marketing system is based upon owners/operators of these Showrooms selling to individual consumers from a wide variety and selection of samples and purchasing such merchandise from FTG-approved floor covering and window treatment vendors (the "FTG Marketing System"). FTG members also have the option of utilizing FTG's merchandising system which features showroom design, displays, product selection, and interior signage (the "FTG Merchandising System" and, together with the FTG Marketing System, the "FTG System").

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, the Floors To Go System consists of two main components. These are the FTG Marketing System and the FTG Merchandising System. The FTG Marketing System involves selling floor covering and window treatment products to consumers from a store location by using a variety of samples and purchasing merchandise from FTG-approved vendors.
The FTG Merchandising System focuses on showroom design, displays, product selection, and interior signage. Floors To Go members have the option to use the FTG Merchandising System in conjunction with the FTG Marketing System.
For a prospective franchisee, understanding these two systems is crucial. The marketing system dictates how products are sold and sourced, emphasizing a sample-based sales approach to minimize inventory costs. The merchandising system provides guidelines and support for creating an appealing and effective showroom environment. Together, these systems aim to provide a comprehensive framework for operating a successful Floors To Go outlet.
