The History of Footprints Floors Grand Rapids, MI

May 01, 2026

Learn how Footprints Floors became a nationwide brand and how we deliver a better flooring experience for homeowners across Grand Rapids, MI.

How It Started: Bryan Park’s Story

Bryan Park is the owner and founder of Footprints Floors.

He grew up in South Denver and began his military career after graduating from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Once his service was complete, he returned to the Denver area and settled in Littleton with his wife, Kelli, and their three daughters.

While working on a home renovation project, Bryan struggled to find flooring contractors who were reliable and consistent. The industry felt disorganized and unclear, leaving him frustrated, confused, and unsure who to trust.

In this struggle, Bryan recognized an opportunity to build something different. In 2008, he founded the first Footprints Floors location in Denver, CO.

Bryan built his business around a customer-first experience where clients felt heard, respected, and confident in their decisions. Working closely with family, friends, and the local community, he created a relationship-driven culture that still guides how we treat the clients we serve today.

Now, nearly two decades later, Footprints Floors has expanded to over 150 locations nationwide, including here in Grand Rapids, MI.

Values: Who We Are

All Footprints Floors locations, including us in Grand Rapids, are family-owned and operated. The core values Bryan and his team established at the first location in Denver are the same ones we operate under today:

  • We Do What We Say: Our commitment to a 1:1 do/say ratio means we stand behind every promise we make. When we say something will be done, you can expect it to be completed with care and respect for your home, your time, and your investment. No surprises. No excuses.
  • Trust Through Transparency: We believe trust is earned through honesty. From consultations and estimates to final installation, we communicate clearly so you always know what to expect. If questions or concerns arise, we take ownership and work quickly to make things right.
  • Integrity in Every Detail: Everything we do is rooted in integrity. We hold ourselves to high ethical standards, ensuring fairness, accountability, and respect in every interaction. We do what’s right for you, not what’s easiest or most convenient for us.

Ultimately, our mission is to provide the best customer experience in Grand Rapids, MI. We’re part of this community, and we believe in building relationships that last. To us, you’re a valued neighbor who deserves quality work, honest service, and a team you can trust.
