Floor & Decor has expanded its national retail footprint by opening three new warehouse-format store locations throughout October 2026. The new sites are located in Raleigh, North Carolina, as well as Melbourne and Cape Coral, Florida.

Why it matters

These additions grow the company's presence to 281 locations across 39 states, highlighting a broader push for market share in the home improvement sector. The expansion follows a period of financial growth for the retailer as it continues to scale its operations.

The retailer reported Q2 net sales exceeding $1.25 billion, a 3% year-over-year increase. The new Raleigh store employs approximately 50 associates, while the Cape Coral location employs roughly 40 staff members.
