Floor & Decor expands in New York

Flooring and home improvement retailer, Floor & Decor, has opened its seventh location in New York state.

The company has opened its first store in Albany, the state’s capital and part of the Saratoga County metro market. The warehouse store and accompanying design center employs 50 full-time and part-time associates led by Chief Executive Merchant Luke Langreder.

“We’re thrilled to announce our newest store location in Albany,” said Langreder. “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 to Albany with this new location.”

A PRO VIP Grand Opening event was held on Oct. 11, which included area builders, contractors, architects, designers, remodelers, flooring installers, and realtors. The event also allowed pros to interact with suppliers and learn about the retailer’s Pro Premier Rewards program.

“Building relationships with our local professionals is very important to us. Their success is our success,” said Langreder.

Last month, Floor & Decor made a push for more professionals during its “Pro Appreciation Month.”

Floor & Decor also operates stores in Bohemia, Cheektowaga, Commack, Farmingdale, Henrietta, Nanuet, and Rochester, New York.

Overall, the company operates more than 200 warehouse stores and 5 design studios in 36 states. Stores carry over 1 million square feet of in-stock flooring and offer free design services, as well as a dedicated pro sales team. 

Floor & Decor reported second quarter net sales increased 4.2% to $1.13 billion compared to second quarter 2022 sales of $1.09 billion.  Comparable store sales decreased 6% during the period, however.

The retailer will report its third quarter financial results on Nov. 2 following the close of the market.
