Summerlin Couple Opens Flooring Franchise During Pandemic

(LAS VEGAS, Nevada)-Having launched a new business in late February, Brad and Kylee Brown are facing once-in-a-generation challenges during the COVID-19 crisis, but that hasn’t stopped them from forging ahead and looking for the silver lining in the gray clouds. “The good thing about this time is that people are home and are ready to re-decorate,” said Brad, who along with Kylee, recently became one of newest franchise owners with Floor Coverings International, visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom stocked with thousands of flooring samples from top manufacturers. Floor Coverings International Las Vegas West serves clients in Summerlin, Spring Valley, Enterprise and Paradise.

All Floor Coverings International professionals are following preventive safety measures such as frequent hand-washing, practicing social distancing, cleaning frequently touched surfaces and more. “We wear PPE (personal protective equipment) and make sure to spray our samples with disinfectant,” Brad said. Floor Coverings International already holds a unique niche as the No. 1 mobile flooring franchise in North America, allowing customers to avoid big-box stores and remain in the comfort of their home. Such a differentiator can be an asset for a business during COVID-19. “Make sure all your messaging reflects what you do differently and better than your competition, and make sure you use that as the filter that you run everything through,” said David Gaz, Founder/Creative Director at The Bureau of Small Projects in a post on Forbes.com.

Brad Brown said he’s had an entrepreneurial spirit ever since he was a kid mowing lawns to earn some spending money. He previously spent 20 years as an area consultant/area manager with KFC. Kylee’s responsibilities in their new business include bookkeeping, scheduling and serving as office manager. The couple relocated from California to Summerlin with their three children, ranging in age from 5 to 12, to be closer to family. “I wanted to have more time with my family,” Brad said. “I was ready to be my own boss and have more freedom.”

In Floor Coverings International, the Browns found a company that has tripled in size since 2005 by putting a laser focus on consumer buying habits and expressed desires, its impressive operating model, growth ability, marketing, advertising and merchandising. Floor Coverings International further separates itself from the competition through its customer experience, made up of several simple and integrated steps that exceed customers’ expectations. “We really liked the business model of helping customers in their homes. Matching flooring with décor, paint and lighting works much easier when you’re actually in a home,” Brad said. “I’ve always liked DIY projects and I oversaw a lot of restaurant remodeling projects in my previous career. I love seeing a project from start to finish and exceeding customer expectations.”
