About Us
How We Started
After completing his flooring apprenticeship in New Zealand at age 20, Dave Cooper went on to install floor coverings in America, England and Australia. Returning to New Zealand in 1994, Dave and Karina started Dave’s Flooring Limited. After a couple of years the demand to install and also supply carpets and vinyl was so strong Dave and Karina opened a tiny store on Te Rapa Straight. Dave’s Flooring quickly gained a reputation for quality workmanship and customer service. The premises became too small and the opportunity arose to purchase The Hamilton Rug Company and move into bigger premises. So on August 26th 2005 Dave’s Flooring and the Hamilton Rug Company merged to become Floorstyle Limited.
With new premises and a great team and now a bigger range of products and services to offer their customers the business became well known in the Waikato region.
So much so that in 2009 Dave and Karina were approached to join The Floor Store, a large chain of New Zealand carpet retailers. Always looking to expand and make their store a better place for their customers, Dave and Karina took up the franchise and in October 2009 officially became The Floor Store in Hamilton.
Where We Are Now
July 2021 time for change, gone was the old Grey building and faded blue awnings, it was time to bring our store into the 21st Century and out of the 19th. Over the space of 4 days and with a huge effort from the whole Floorstore Family the revamp was done. When you look at our store now from the outside you are met with a vibrant blue and new signage , and walking into our showroom is a visually beautiful experience with something to suit everyone who enters.
With better buying power and now even more services to offer their customers The Floor Store Hamilton is Hamilton’s only one stop Flooring Centre. We offer a huge range of Residential and Commercial flooring products not to mention we also sell, Cushions, throws and floor cleaning solutions.
The Floor Store are still a family owned and operated business with Dave and Karina actively in the business. But over the last few years the business has gone from strength to strength both in the Commercial and Residential markets and now is run with a staff of 13 who are all treated as part of the family.
Dave and Karina hope that every person who walks through their doors has an experience that they will tell their friends about and they have always emphasized that “outstanding Customer Service” is more important than price.
So come on down to Te Rapa and see the Floorstore Family, check out the new showroom and experience our outstanding Customer Service.
