Five Star Franchising announces the acquisition and launch of Five Star Flooring

The platform's newest home service brand disrupts the $75B flooring industry with an asset-light, concierge business model for aspiring business owners

SPRINGVILLE, Utah, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Star Franchising, a platform of home service brands, has officially announced the acquisition and launch of Five Star Flooring. Engineered to disrupt the $75 billion flooring market, Five Star Flooring is an asset-light, logistics-driven home service franchise brand positioned to make flooring solutions easier for homeowners.

"Homeowners want turnkey improvement solutions and floor remodeling is no different," said Scott Abbott, CEO and Co-founder of Five Star Franchising. "They are overwhelmed by massive showrooms, unclear pricing, unreliable service and a disconnected experience. From start to finish, Five Star Flooring provides a simplified process. And for driven business leaders, it's a low overhead, high-margin home service franchise opportunity, backed by the power of our platform."

Transforming the Consumer Experience

The flooring industry is dominated by impersonal big-box stores and resource-limited contractors. Five Star Flooring removes the stress and friction for homeowners, by delivering a premium, curated in-home gallery experience. Its "We Handle Everything" promise provides turnkey end-to-end service, including furniture moving, demolition, subfloor preparation, installation and full restoration.

Customers receive transparent pricing upfront, zero-down financing, and a lifetime guarantee on materials and labor. Five Star Flooring serves both interior needs with LVP and hardwood, and exterior projects with its Deck-last solution. A "Start Small or Do It All" policy locks pricing for two years, giving customers peace of mind to phase upgrades at their own pace and budget.

A High-Margin, Executive Franchise Opportunity

For prospective franchise owners, Five Star Flooring offers an inventory-light sales and service business model. Owners function as executive orchestrators of revenue operations, rather than managing a labor-intensive payroll or doing installation themselves.

• Asset-Light Operations: The model significantly lowers overhead by eliminating expensive retail storefronts, massive warehouses of unsold stock and the need to manage heavy, custom-wrapped van fleets.
• Just-In-Time Supply Chain: Franchise owners leverage local B2B networks, source high-quality flooring directly from local wholesalers after a contract is signed, while independent subcontractors handle the physical installation.
• Vertically Integrated Sales Engine: Owners utilize Five Star Marketing for high-quality lead generation and ProNexis for lead management and appointment booking. Additionally, they gain exclusive access to Five Star Buying Group's national vendor network for superior pricing and operational efficiencies.
• Growth-Friendly Economics: Designed for rapid scale, the franchise opportunity has an estimated initial investment of $157,000 to $264,500, with a royalty structure that drops from 6% to 5% once gross annual revenue exceeds $1,000,000.

Built on a Battle-Tested Blueprint for Scale

Five Star Flooring is led by Brand President Dean Hartley, a multi-unit operator who previously partnered with Five Star Franchising to scale sister brand Five Star Bath Solutions from a regional player into a dominant category leader approaching 400 locations nationwide.

"We didn't invent flooring and we aren't just another flooring company; we're solving a problem for homeowners and offering a revenue operations machine for our future franchise owners," said Hartley. "Five Star Flooring takes the exact battle-tested blueprint that has made Five Star Bath Solutions a national category leader and applied it to a highly fragmented industry."
