Spending by U.S. consumers in major cities is up more than 15% compared to two years ago, fueling a rapid economic recovery that remains on fragile footing as we’ve entered 2022.
October 10, 2021, was a night to remember as the Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF) celebrated its 40th anniversary at a gala in the Rainbow Room at the top of the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.
After putting the “new normal” to the test this year with its Mohawk Momentum Roadshow, the manufacturer has announced that it will be back on the road again in early 2022.
After eight months, more than a dozen events attended, and thousands of miles traveled, FCEF convened Chattanooga, Tennessee, November 9-10, 2021, to report on its progress and to map out its plans to recruit more flooring installers.
New innovations in aesthetic designs, pet- and kid-friendly surfaces, sustainability and health all become appealing as the world navigates the transformation of spaces in a world still grappling with pandemic procedures. Despite the challenges—and perhaps because of them—the flooring industry has stepped up to find solutions.
