2005 - 2005

By 2005, Barnum Floors was bursting out of their location at 9379 Swanson Blvd in Clive, so they were on the search for a larger place to call home. One day, as Al sat at this desk, he saw the answer right in front of him. The large concrete building across the street at 9460 Swanson Blvd, Clive was for sale. Barnum purchased the building from Taylor Ball and began renovations. The project included an extensive interior and exterior renovation, parking lots, 7,500 square feet of warehouse space, and a new 1,500-square-foot showroom. Gary Barnum designed the new showroom which was later featured as a “Floor of the Year” contestant with the National Wood Flooring Association.  Barnum Floors also became active members of the Home Builders Association of Greater Des Moines where Kathy Served as President of the Women’s Council for three years and won the title of “Women’s Council of the Year” in 2007 at the International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida.
