Orlando—Footprints Floors, a leading flooring franchise with over 150 active territories, recently hosted its 2025 national convention here. This annual gathering brought together over 85 franchise owners, industry professionals, product representatives and corporate partners for a weekend of collaboration and celebration. Among the highlights of the event was the award ceremony, where Matt Therriault, owner of Footprints Floors – Peachtree City, was honored with the Franchisee of the Year award.
“I’m truly honored to receive this recognition,” said Therriault. “Owning a Footprints Floors franchise has been an incredibly fulfilling journey—I take great pride in the service my team provides to our community. Having our hard work acknowledged by the leadership team and my peers makes this even more special.”
The Franchisee of the Year award is designated to celebrate franchisees who have demonstrated exceptional business growth, leadership and commitment to excellence, achieving outstanding financial success while upholding the brand’s values and contributing to their local communities.
“We are honored to recognize Therriault for his outstanding contributions to the Footprints Floors family,” said Bryan Park, founder and CEO of Footprints Floors. “He embodies the dedication, professionalism and entrepreneurial spirit that drive success within our system. We look forward to seeing what he accomplishes in 2025.”
The award ceremony was also part of a larger event designed to set the stage for another year of growth and innovation. Franchisees participated in targeted learning tracks, discussion panels and hands-on product demonstrations. The expo allowed owners to engage directly with top industry experts in flooring, marketing, financing and other critical business services.
This year’s convention also marked the first since the launch of Footprints Bath and Tile—the brand’s expansion into bath and tile installation. Attendees had the opportunity to explore this new division through informational sessions, product showcases and educating discussions.
“Attending the Footprints Floors convention and celebrating the achievements of my fellow owners has been an inspiring experience,” Therriault said. “I’m excited to take what I’ve learned here and apply it to my business as we continue delivering top-tier service to our customers.”
