"Since partnering with FloorForce in 2016, we've helped thousands of flooring retailers simplify the reporting and campaign optimization work that is necessary to run a successful digital advertising campaign," said Todd Saunders, CEO of AdHawk.

FlooringStores.com removes the headaches that flooring retailers encounter while bringing consumers to their digital storefront."
"I could not be more excited for our team, our customers and the floor covering industry. Joining forces with AdHawk will allow us to aggressively improve and expand our current offerings while building new tools our customers need," continued John Weller, formerly CEO of FloorForce and now the chief innovation officer at FlooringStores.com.
