Warwick, R.I.—Floor & Decor, a high-growth retailer who specializes in hard surface flooring for homeowners and professionals, has announced the grand opening of its first warehouse location here. The warehouse store and design center will open with a team of approximately 50 full-time and part-time associates to be led by Mike Falco, the store’s chief executive merchant.
“We’re thrilled to announce our first store location in Warwick, Rhode Island,” Falco said. “For more than two decades, Floor & Decor has had the opportunity to serve professionals and homeowners throughout the nation and we are excited to expand our footprint in the Rhode Island market with this new location. We look forward to becoming part of the community and welcoming our newest neighbors into our store and making their renovation journeys easier, inspired and more affordable.”
In celebration of the grand opening, Floor & Decor is hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 29, at 10:00 am ET with the Chamber of Commerce of Central Rhode Island. In addition, guests can enjoy light refreshments while touring the new store location.
