How This Seasoned Professional Is Fostering Franchise Growth with FCI
This article was originally posted in American Towns on March 31, 2025. Duluth resident Peter Majkozak, a seasoned professional with 15 years of experience in trucking and logistics, has embarked on a new venture as the owner of Floor Coverings International (FCI) in the Twin Ports area. Officially launching on March 17, 2025, Majkozak aims to redefine the home service industry by combining his expertise in fostering growth cultures with FCI’s innovative mobile retail model. The Twin Ports branch serves Duluth and surrounding communities, offering free in-home consultations.
Majkozak’s transition into flooring services stems from his desire to bring convenience and quality to homeowners. “I plan to utilize my ability to create a winning culture that is able to grow as I did in the fast-paced world of trucking and logistics,” he said. “I was ready to start making my own schedule and help transform the Home Service Industry in the Twin Ports. I signed with FCI due to their Mobile Showroom model and their continuous education culture and support structure.”
FCI’s signature Mobile Showroom eliminates the hassle of traditional flooring shopping by bringing over 3,000 samples directly to customers’ doors. Homeowners can explore options—from waterproof laminates to engineered hardwood—in their own living spaces, ensuring seamless integration with existing décor and lighting. This approach not only simplifies decision-making but also positions FCI as a disruptor in the industry.
Looking ahead, Majkozak envisions establishing FCI as the region’s premier flooring provider. “In five years, I hope to be running the top flooring provider in my area that is seen as the Home Service Gold Standard,” he shared. His strategy emphasizes customer-centric solutions, including trending products like sustainable laminate made from recycled wood fibers, authentic wood-look designs, and durable waterproof options suited to Minnesota’s unpredictable climate.
