Is it really worth it to have a showroom? Will it truly help your installation business? Won’t it just create more work and get in the way of running installs? It could not be worth it, it could get in your way, and it could create more headaches. However, it could also open up a new revenue stream, limit liability, and give you a path to something other than the “daily grind”.
Billy Fritzel is the owner of Fritzel Flooring founded in 2017 in Fort Collins, CO. Following in the footsteps of his hero, his father, he took the skills embedded in him as a child and decided he wanted to forge his own path. Working for his older brothers for a short stint before opening his own business gave him the knowledge he needed to reach the next step. Now after building the premiere brand for installations in Fort Collins, Billy is looking to take it to the next level.
What does it take to open up a showroom though? Listen in to this week’s episode of the Floor Academy Podcast as Billy and I discuss his journey to open his showroom and what it means for his business.
