Our Franchise Culture at Floor Coverings International

At Floor Coverings International, we feel it’s paramount to give back to the communities we serve. Our business model is built on relationships – beyond the ones with our customers. “At Floor Coverings International, community doesn’t just mean the neighborhood you live in. It includes the areas in which you work, play, and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to thrive,” says Tom Wood, CEO, Floor Coverings International.

For many years we have donated time, money, and talent to charities like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In fact, through a partnership with one of our suppliers, we’ve donated over $60,000 to St. Jude in just the last year. We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve been able to do, not just for St. Jude, but for all the organizations we partner with.

What we value most is that our franchisees align with our franchise culture of giving back. Many of them support their local charities and organizations. Some have prepared and served meals to those in homeless shelters, others have even participated in Habitat for Humanity.

At FCI, we have what we like to call Volunteer Week. During this annual event, we give our teams four hours of PTO so they can volunteer at the organization of their choice in their community. We’re always promoting opportunities to serve our localities through our Social Purpose Calendar.

“Our commitment to community involvement captures the essence of who we are,” says Tom. “We believe that by taking social responsibility, we can encourage others to want to pay it forward. And in turn, we can create communities of involvement that work together to achieve the greater good for all.”
