Local Resident Brings No. 1 Flooring Franchise to Area
With Master Degrees in Biology and Business plus, a Love for Design, This Busy Mother of Four Found the Perfect New Career

(NEWPORT BEACH, California)-Ellie Snow’s life was a little frenzied, to say the least. She had a busy professional career and was a mother to four kids. She was seeking a little balance while also being able to follow a new passion. Snow found the solution to all her wants when she became a franchise owner with Floor Coverings International, visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom stocked with thousands of flooring samples from top manufacturers. Floor Coverings International Newport Beach serves clients throughout Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach and Laguna Woods.
Snow, a Newport Beach resident with a master’s in Biology, formerly worked in clinical research. However, the travel demands were challenging when also balancing the needs of family. Snow transitioned into business consulting to allow her more flexibility, especially when she wanted to be present for the activities of her four children. Then she began studying interior design as she remodeled homes and offices. “I enjoyed it tremendously,” Snow said. “Now I’m able to utilize my design skills with Floor Coverings International to address the needs and come up with viable solutions for my clients. I also wanted to go the franchise route to utilize the support that’s offered.” By focusing on residences, personalized flooring, preference, design, and installation, in-house customer consulting, this business has made a significant difference from the other floor covering firms.
Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every part of our lives. Floor Coverings International utilizes a number of preventative safety precautions to keep both clients and franchise owners and their employees safe.

“People have been spending so much time at home that they are ready to remodel. Instead of traveling, people are putting money into their homes,” Snow said. “I follow all safety protocols when meeting with clients. Homeowners love that we come to them vs. running to numerous stores trying to match décor.”
In Floor Coverings International, Snow found a company that has tripled in size since 2005 by putting a laser focus on consumer buying habits and expressed desires, its impressive operating model, growth ability, marketing, advertising and merchandising. Floor Coverings International further separates itself from the competition through its customer experience, made up of several simple and integrated steps that exceed customers’ expectations. Meanwhile, new technology has provided a whole host of flooring options for homeowners, designed to fit almost any budget. “Luxury vinyl is a new technology that is durable and waterproof,” Snow said. “It’s great for homes near the beach. You can walk inside with sandy feet and not have any problems.”
