Floors and More

Floors & More is a Member-Centric Buying Group, dedicated to the continued success of its Members and Franchisees.

Floors & More has 88 showrooms nationwide, with Floor To Ceiling having 63 of those showrooms and 25 of those in Big Bob's Flooring Outlets. It is our mission to insure our industry does not become like the drug store retailers (most gobbled up by national or regional players and very few independents left).
