CHICAGO, Oct. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FLOR, Inc., designer and curator of modular carpet tiles for the home, announced today the opening of its first international location. The store is located in Toronto, Canada, at 162 Cumberland St. in the high-end Yorkville shopping neighborhood where some of the most compelling home and fashion stores reside.

After opening several stores earlier this year in the U.S., FLOR is excited to add its first location in Canada, specifically in Toronto where discerning design enthusiasts and a strong and loyal customer base can be found.

GRAND OPENING EVENT

FLOR will host a Grand Opening Event tonight, October 11, 2012, at the Toronto FLOR Store to give design enthusiasts their first chance to come by the store and take the ultimate "toe test."

With the opening of the 1,400 square-foot store, FLOR marks its first retail location in Canada -- joining their flagship store in New York as well as locations in other major U.S. design markets including Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco - moving them closer towards delivering the FLOR brand experience to design admirers all across North America.

THE FLOR EXPERIENCE

Visitors to the Toronto store will be able to interact with the full range of inspiring colors, patterns and textures available in FLOR's innovative system of 50cm (19.7-inch) carpet squares. Customers are invited to experience just how easy it is to redefine any space by mixing and matching FLOR styles to create custom rugs, runners and wall-to-wall designs of any length, size or shape.

FLOR's Toronto store is designed to motivate, educate and inspire visitors to explore how the beauty and adaptability of the FLOR premium design collection can enhance their decor. Customers are encouraged to actively participate in the creation of their FLOR rug by using a specially-designed grid on the floor that allows them get a sense of the size and scale of their rug concept. Pages from the FLOR catalog are brought to life on the walls to help visitors visualize how FLOR can fit any decor.

For those desiring more assistance, the store will have a team of experienced FLOR design consultants available -- either in-store or in-home through specially-scheduled appointments -- to help choose styles, coordinate colors and answer questions on care or assembly. Customers may also take advantage of FLOR's Professional Installation Services program and have a preferred professional installer visit their home to help assemble their rug, runner or wall-to-wall installation.
