31st Street Capital has acquired its fourth flooring company, Floors For Living. LLC., headquartered in Houston, Texas. Floors For Living has been serving the Houston area since 2013. The 34,000 square foot warehouse and corporate office is located at 8911 S Sam Houston Pkwy W #100, Missouri City, TX 77489, and the company has 22 additional showrooms that serve communities from Conroe to Lake Jackson. Floors For Living is Houston’s #1 retail flooring company. Started by Kurt Duitsman in 2013, Floors For Living expanded rapidly, adding 20 retail locations in their first five years! The team has built a great reputation in the Houston market by living up to their motto “The Flooring Experts so you don’t have to be.”
31st Street Capital purchased its first flooring company, Floor Source, in 2018. Floor Source, established in 2010, serves the Phoenix and Scottsdale residential and commercial market with two showrooms and expects to open third location in late 2021. Floor Source has seen explosive growth far more than industry norms and is positioned for sustained and continued growth due to their commitment to honesty, value, and integrity. The second acquisition, Flooring Expo by Carpet King is based in Minneapolis, Minn. Flooring Expo by Carpet King has 13 showrooms and has been serving the Twin Cities for over 75 years and has experienced growth of over 40% in the year since acquisition in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. The third flooring company, Total Flooring, Inc., is located in the suburbs of Chicago, Ill. Total Flooring has provided the finest quality flooring in the Chicago area since 1992. The 5,000 square foot showroom offers a large array of flooring solutions for residential and commercial projects. The acquisition of Floors For Living adds another strong performing business to 31st Street Capital’s portfolio in a strategic marketplace with rapid growth potential. This acquisition brings 31st Street Capital’s flooring revenue to approximately $85,000,000 in 2021. It is the intent of 31st Street Capital to continue their growth both within their existing portfolio of flooring companies as well as through further flooring acquisitions in major US markets.
