Spartan SurfacesAtlanta—On May 13, Floor & Décor, a multichannel specialty retailer operating 140 warehouse-format stores across 32 states, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Spartan Surfaces, a leading end-to-end commercial flooring specifying distribution company, for consideration of up to $90 million. Spartan Surfaces, headquartered in Bel Air, Md., will operate as a subsidiary of Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc., and will continue to be led by the Spartan Surfaces senior management team.
