Flooring Direct of KC
My dad and grandpa started this company back in 2007. I was only 11, so I didn’t know much about the journey they were embarking upon. What I did know is that it brought something new and exciting into our lives. I spent the next few summers sitting in the back of the carpet van filled with samples in our driveway, playing with my friends. I would get so excited when I was able to ride around with my dad to his appointments and meet all the new customers. For the next few years that would be our new normal.
Fast forward to 2011. The company was slowly but surely growing, and I was able to understand more, and better appreciate all the hard work and long days my dad and grandpa were putting in to make their dreams become reality. There were too many samples to squeeze into the van at that point, so my grandpa’s basement became the new office. I loved going over there and being able to visit with my grandpa, squeeze in an occasional lunch date, and watch things grow day by day.
