Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. is a specialty retailer focused on hard-surface flooring and related accessories for residential and commercial applications. The company operates within the home improvement and specialty retail industries, offering products such as tile, wood, laminate, vinyl, natural stone, installation materials, and decorative accessories.

Floor & Decor differentiates itself through a warehouse-style retail model featuring broad in-stock inventory, direct sourcing relationships, and specialized product expertise. The company was founded in 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia, and expanded from a regional flooring retailer into a national chain across the United States. Following investments from private equity firms including Ares Management and Freeman Spogli & Co., the company completed its initial public offering in 2017 and has continued expanding its store footprint and omnichannel capabilities.
