Since 1981, The Floor Store opened its doors with the belief that it could professionally service every customer
with great care and respect.
Following that same philosophy today, the family-owned business continues to flourish despite increased
competition from flooring businesses that open and close around them. The reasons are simple and based on the principles from which the business began. The Floor Store provides
its customers with honest, courteous, and conscientious service in addition to showcasing a vast selection
of quality flooring products. Owners and brothers Jim and Bob Moran proudly serve Windsor-Essex County
with the confidence of offering service and selection of flooring materials that is second to none.
Humble Beginnings
Believing that he could incorporate his vast knowledge of the flooring business into his own small
operation, Jim Moran along with Rick Clouthier, opened The Floor Store in Windsor during the worst possible
time - the recession that plagued the early '80s. Despite the recession, they followed their own belief system that
treating customers well would return to them in the form of success. Despite a recession that was closing
many small businesses, The Floor Store flourished. There was no need to look back.
Growth Causes Move
Continuous growth during the early days of operation resulted in the need for a new location to accommodate customer demand
for greater selection and inventory. The small 2,400 sq. ft. operation at the corner of Westminister
and Tecumseh Road was soon moved to the current location at 6200 Tecumseh Rd. E.. The 10,000 sq. ft.
location allowed for much more inventory in the warehouse and more selection on the showroom floor. At a time
when others were reducing inventory, The Floor Store was increasing their's.
Minimal inventory in the early years gradually increased to the current stock of 125 rolls of carpet,
over 400 carpet remnants, 15 styles of laminate floor, 50,000 sq. ft. of ceramic and 32 patterns of peel
and stick tiles.
