Dereck was an ideal client. Hungry, experienced, ready to make a change in his life.

He was the Director of Operations for a fitness concept in his area, and managed 10 locations for the owners. He had invested in real estate previously, but realized it wasn’t going to replace the income he wanted to make on a yearly basis. He also wanted to dive into a business to build for himself.

He was originally looking at a KidStrong concept, but realized something with lower overhead and faster ramp up may be better. He ended up buying two territories of a well-established (40 years in the industry) floor remodeling franchise called Floor Coverings International.

Congratulations Dereck!

Benefits for the Franchisee:

They also sell wholesale fence to the trades, which includes fence contractors, landscapers, carpenters and handymen. You’re able to turn 8 SKU’s into hundreds of product options.

• Buying Power – they have strategic partnerships that allow franchisees to procure high-quality materials at 20-30% lower costs than their competitors, resulting in increased margins and enhanced profitability.

• Exclusive Partnership – Superior has a relationship with Home Depot, so any fence leads are referred to the franchisees for installations thanks to our strategic partnerships and national franchise network. This collaboration gives you a steady stream of qualified leads to fuel your success.

• Large Territories – Population for one territory is at least 400,000 which is higher than a lot of other franchises. You’ll own the major metro areas with just one franchise fee.

• High Revenue Potential – The average gross revenue disclosed in the FDD shows $2.8 million. They break it down and even show gross revenue for first-year franchisees. According to page 38 in their FDD that number was an average of  $1.81 Million for 2023 New Franchisees.
