Floor Coverings International Comes to South Loudoun County

(Sterling, Virginia)-Dan Lyman is looking to make his world a smaller place and he’s savoring the opportunity. The 59-year-old Aldie, Va., resident recently became a franchise owner with Floor Coverings International, the brand that’s consistently ranked No. 1 in the mobile flooring category, visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom stocked with thousands of flooring samples from top manufacturers. Having recently launched operations, Floor Coverings International of South Loudoun County serves customers throughout Northern Virginia, including Aldie, Ashburn, Chantilly, Haymarket, Stone Ridge, South Riding, and Sterling.

Lyman previously spent more than three decades in commercial and government roles targeting national and global markets, with his most recent position having responsibilities that spanned time zones from Australia to Europe. His leadership positions also required extensive domestic and international travel. But now that Lyman has put down roots in his business career and community, he couldn’t be happier.

“My prior work experience had a national or global market focus. I rarely had the opportunity to do much business near my home,” Lyman said. “Floor Coverings International gives me the opportunity to stay at home and entrench myself in my local community.”

Lyman initially explored other corporate opportunities, but was approached by a franchise consultant who introduced him to some small-business opportunities that matched Lyman’s strengths and interests. “Floor Coverings International immediately caught my attention. It served a market that I find very attractive with a business model that scaled quite favorably to my tastes and I really like the people I met,” Lyman said. “I’m excited to develop a business into something that not only provides a solid income, but becomes an asset that I can eventually sell when I am ready to fully retire.”

Floor Coverings International is a business built on relationships to provide its customers with the very best in-home flooring experience in North America. Its proven business model has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs thrive in a business that is simple-to-run and easy to scale. Floor Coverings International further separates itself from the competition through its customer experience, made up of several simple and integrated steps that exceed customers’ expectations.

“I live in the middle of my territory and I’m quite energized by the thought of staying off airplanes and focusing my energy and resources on serving a local community market and exploring opportunities to give back to the community,” Lyman said.

Having become a small-business owner, Lyman said he encourages others to follow their passion, saying the financial resources, grit and determination necessary are worth the investment. “You can’t get to where you want to be if you don’t progress and learn through the start-up phase,” Lyman said. “You’ll never finish if you don’t start.”

With the home improvement industry booming, the flooring market is also keeping pace. The global flooring market is expected to grow at an annual rate of more than six percent through 2028, reaching overall sales of $621 billion, according to Grand View Research.

“Materials advances are improving not only the products, but improving the installation experience,” Lyman said. “And I love that flooring is a market that cannot be disintermediated by technology! You still can’t make a digital floor, so the flooring market will persist, albeit with better and more comfortable products.”
