Patrick Findaro: This Patrick Findaro co founder at Vetted Biz. Very exited to have on two guest from Footprints Floors. Bryan Park who’s founder and CEO of Footprint Floors. As well as Brian Kunhut who is not only franchise owner but he’s also director of development. Footprints Floors has grown from one location in 2008 to own over 150 locations in a little over 12 years.

They started franchising in 2013 so it’s a very responsible way to grow a franchise system and not just starting the first year after you launch. But waited five years to really finetune the model before bringing in another franchisees.

I’m very excited to again bring on Bryan Park and Brian Kunhut. Bryan maybe you could just tell me a little bit how you got into this industry of flooring and a little bit about your background.

Bryan Park: Well of course thanks for having us on here Patrick. So I’m Brian Park the more handsome and larger of the two. But I started the business in 2008. And prior to that I was in the air force. I was young, I was in my early 20’s, newly married. Getting out of the air force trying to figure out what to do in life. I was a history major in college, what means I don’t have a job. And moved back to Denver, move back to home trying to figure out. My wife and I had gone out dinner one night and came home and we have three puppies, cause that’s what normal people do, they get three puppies. They had eaten our carpet they just tore it up and shredded it. The pad was all over the house.

BP: And so we called and hired a flooring company to come in and put in hardwood floors. I’m watching this guy install all and I was like this is kind of cool. I asked him, how much money do you make doing this? Don’t know 100 grand. I was like I can still go to school at night. Because really the vision was that I was going to be temporary. I was going to install hardwood floors while I was finishing a different degree. I was going to be an engineer. And change kind of the course of my life.

So I started floors for a company that I called them up and said: hey, are you hiring in? Sure. So I started working for those guys installing, sanding floors. I was a floor technician. Supporting my young family.

PF: So you just had the three puppies and daughter at that time?

BP: Three puppies. My daughter was born, my oldest, was born right about then. I think my wife was pregnant when my puppies eat the carpet. If I did the math right. So, I started working for those guys. So that’s about two and a half, three years later. I worked free for those guys for like six months. I was a W2 employee and they weren’t paying.
