THE FLOOR STORE - Key Persons


Angela Kidwell

Job Titles:
  • Sales Manager
I was born and raised in Williamstown, New Jersey. Shortly after graduating I moved with my family to Mechanicsville, VA where I raised my 2 sons (both of which graduated from Lee Davis HS). I have been in sales all of my life starting in insurance sales. I decided to make a change to flooring sales many years ago and discovered how much I loved working with clients to design their homes. Recently I was given the amazing opportunity to be part of a new store in Chesterfield. I love the field I am in, the people I work with, and the clients I see daily. I take my job very seriously and strive to give every client the top-notch service they deserve. My goal is to retire from The Floor Store!

Courtney was always interested in the industry and has grown into her role very quickly and comfortably. On her off time, she loves spending time with her family.

Mark Midgett

Job Titles:
  • Sales Rep
I got my start in flooring as a helper for my brother's carpet installation crew. I was able to learn not only the best install techniques but how to walk the customer throughout the entire process. I eventually got the call to sales and found my niche there. I highly value the relationships made and helping navigate customers through the unknown that is flooring. When the time clock rings for home you will find me looking into the next big hike or camping trip with My fiance, Traci, and our 3 dogs.
