Footprints Floors, the flooring installation brand with 150-plus territories nationwide, continues its expansion in Texas. Jonathan Fox, a 21-year U.S. Air Force veteran and former Occupational Safety Manager at Amazon, is opening Footprints Floors in Waco, Texas, in early January 2025. With plans to serve Waco and extend his reach into the Round Rock area, Fox is looking forward to helping homeowners transform their spaces while building a thriving business rooted in Central Texas.
Fox served over two decades in the Air Force working in aircraft maintenance. After retiring from the military, he utilized the skills he learned in the service to become an Occupational Safety Manager at Amazon. Fox realized he needed a better work-life balance, so he began looking at opportunities to start a business.
The Waco expansion is a significant milestone in Footprints Floors’ larger growth story. Last year, the brand added 15 new territories through 12 franchise agreements, including expansions into California and Washington. This year, Footprints Floors will continue its growth in California while also targeting markets in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware in the Northeastern U.S.
“Community involvement is very important to me and one of the things that drew me to Footprints Floors in the first place,” said Fox. “I’m really excited by this opportunity to give back to the people of Waco, serve my community, and embark on this journey as a business owner with Footprints Floors.”
Footprints Floors has always placed an emphasis on giving back, most recently with the launch of the First Fruits Fund. Through this philanthropic effort, Footprints Floors partners with faith-based organizations to donate and volunteer help for family services, counseling/drug rehabilitation and foster care/adoption assistance.
