Floored by the Idea of Having to Relocate, Flooring Business Keeps Owner, Family at Home

New Country, New Career. Father Makes Big Steps For Family.

There is moving and there is real moving. Native Spaniards, Francisco Marin and his wife, Maria Blanco, have lived in their native Spain, Turkey and for the last seven years, in New York. An executive with an infrastructure construction company, Marin had traveled the world for almost 20 years. But when Marin was asked to relocate his family overseas he balked. As a result, Marin has become one of the newest franchisees of Floor Coverings International. Having launched operations on May 16, Marin serves Mamaroneck, Rye, White Plains, Scarsdale, Ardsley, Ossining and surrounding areas.

When initially forced to make a decision on his future, Marin realized that finding another job in his industry wouldn’t necessarily curtail his traveling. That’s when he began to focus on small business ownership and Floor Coverings International offered many benefits including a simple business model, growth potential and strong franchisor support. Most importantly, it meant that the 46-year-old Marin, his wife and children could remain in their Larchmont home. “Our kids had grown up here and we had bought an old house two years ago and done major renovations. We just love it now,” Marin said. “And with Floor Coverings International, we loved that it was in the home improvement field. All of these things combined to make us decide to stay.”

Floor Coverings International offers an unmatched selection of flooring products including carpet, hardwood, ceramic, tile and vinyl, as well as specialty products such as bamboo and slate. Expert Design Associates offer free in-home Design Consultations, visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom with thousands of flooring choices to assist them in choosing the perfect flooring solution. 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.
