Dave Munson learned the flooring business from the ground up working in his parents’ two stores in North Dakota. As with many other entrepreneurs, Munson was driven from a young age to work in their stores. He would go on to do everything the family business had to offer—from unloading trucks and sweeping floors to selling directly to customers.
Once Munson was ready step out from the shadow cast by his parents, he took what knowledge he gleaned and, in 1981, decided to move to Mankato, Minn., and take over his godparents’ 18-year-old Floor To Ceiling business. Floor To Ceiling is a national buying group with over 200 retail interior-products stores across the U.S., with its founding dealers dating back to the early 1970s.
