“We are honored to appear on this prestigious list for the 12th year in a row,” said Tom Wood, president and CEO of Floor Coverings International. “Even more so since we are No. 1 in Category this year. We also feel good about growing in spite of the most challenging business climate in decades. Our franchisees get the credit for following all protocols for COVID-19 and providing comfortable environments for the many homeowners who decided to make significant upgrades to their homes.
