Footprints Floors has moved to a brand-new headquarters. According to the company, this expansion represents a major milestone in the company’s evolution, reinforcing its commitment to franchisee training, industry collaboration, and community engagement.
For the past 16 years, Footprints Floors has operated primarily as a virtual company, embracing remote work long before it became the norm. “When COVID happened, we had already been doing it for 11 years,” said Bryan Park, CEO of Footprints Floors. However, as the brand expanded, the need for a dedicated training facility became evident. “About five years ago, we got our first office because we were starting to train franchisees from out of state. Prior to that, we were training people in my basement!”
The brand’s first office was an 800-square-foot space that served its purpose for half a decade. However, as the company continued to scale, nearing 100 franchisees and 180 locations, Park recognized the need for something bigger and more representative of Footprints Floors’ position in the industry.
“We’ve built it out and are now going to be moving in a few weeks,” Park said of the company’s new headquarters located at 327 Embernes Drive S. in Englewood, Colorado. “This is a very big step up for us.”
The new 20,000-square-foot headquarters includes a 3,000-square-foot warehouse dedicated to hands-on franchisee training, a conference room, offices, and a classroom for educational sessions. One of the most significant upgrades is the dedicated hands-on training facility, designed to enhance the franchisee learning experience. The facility will not only serve as a training center for new franchisees but will also provide ongoing education for existing franchisees looking to refine their skills.
Additionally, the space positions Footprints Floors to host national flooring industry training events. “I’m excited to be able to partner with the flooring industry to host training for other people outside the brand,” Park said.
Beyond business, Footprints Floors has long been committed to giving back – a value reflected in its First Fruits philanthropic initiative, which aims to donate 25 percent of the company’s profits to nonprofits. Park and his wife also operate a youth theater program.
“My daydream has been to get a joint-use space for the theater and the new headquarters,” Park said. That vision has now come to life, with the new facility also including a 350-seat theater. “We are really sharing a space, which will be awesome for the community.”
The move to this new space is a long-term investment in the future of Footprints Floors. “We’ve signed a 10-year lease, and we are planning to be here for a while,” Park said. “It’s really representative of where we are — five years ago, we didn’t know if franchising would work. Now, we have nearly 100 franchisees and 180 locations. We know what works, and now we have a space that is representative of this journey.”
