Smith's Floor & More

Our building is over 120 years old, and like most downtown buildings has a wealth of history within its walls. Our store - SMITHS FLOOR STORE - is almost 70 years old (created in 1947 as Smith's Paint Store) and has had several generations walk through it's entrance doors. Over the decades so much has Joplin, about the four-states, about downtown, and about us. One thing, however, remains the same as the day the door opened to the public at 814 S Main to service. In a time when many of us have either forgot what real 'customer service' is or have grown up in an era where it almost doesn't exist, we like to think that we are fortunate enough to have been here long enough to understand and appreciate what service (...the way it use to way it should ) means.
At Smiths Floor Store, our mission is simple:
Provide great service. Answer each question with
the same sincerity, honesty, and knowledge that
we would want for ourselves and our family.
Offer true 'value' - which means the Best product
for the Best price. Value means much more than
a logo on a bag of generic chips. Value, despite
those that have tried to redefine it as 'the cheapest
version at the lowest possible price' does NOT
describe any product you would find on a pallet in
the middle of a warehouse - those products are
just 'Cheap'! Cheap is and always will be exactly
as it made.
Cheap is an imitation, and a poor one at that.
Cheap is temporary and fails quickly. Cheap
looks good in the package, but looks, cheap,
when unboxed. Cheap comes on pallets, is only
available in 3 colors of tan, and ends up on your
evening news program as part of an investigation
into health issues related to toxic finishes.

VALUE is what we offer. It is simply stated,
'the best possible quality at the best possible price'
while ALSO being the 'best available product to
meet the demands of your use.'

So check around when it's time (or most likely well past time) to replace your flooring. Chances are you will find several people (and maybe even their parents, grandparents, and children) that have come to us for their carpet, hardwood, tile (or complete bathroom renovation), laminate, or our newest 'Hydroplank' (waterproof plank floors) and 'FlexTile' (tile that won't crack and isn't so cold) floors. Then after the glowing review (we would certainly hope) ask around about another store or warehouse type store. Did you find someone that had gone through the full installation process with them? And, if so, did they smile when they told you all about it?

Well, at the least, you owe it to yourself to stop in and take a look around. It only takes a moment to realize that there are no 'high-pressure' commissioned sales staff that heard a cash register when the door chimed. It only takes a moment more to see that we offer so much more than what you've become use to, and a whole lot more than just floors. So come on down to Smiths - 814 S. Main in downtown Joplin - and experience real, best of all you can go home knowing you are actually looking forward to our installation specialists arriving with the incredible 'VALUE' you found. Only at Smiths Floor (& more) Store.
