Starnet Worldwide Commercial Flooring is proud to welcome OFDC Commercial Interiors to our elite network of commercial flooring providers. With deep roots in Southwest Florida and a story defined by resilience and reinvention, OFDC’s addition marks a powerful step forward for both the company and the Starnet community.
Founded in 1974 as a business machine dealership, OFDC evolved into a Steelcase furniture dealer in the 1980s, serving clients from Charlotte County to Marco Island. But it was the Great Recession of 2008 that truly reshaped the company’s trajectory. As Cape Coral became ground zero for the housing crisis, OFDC faced a rapidly changing market—one where former customers became competitors, and traditional furniture sales were no longer sustainable.
Faced with this challenge, OFDC pivoted. Inspired by conversations with fellow Steelcase dealers they decided to enter the flooring business, transforming into a dual-service dealership offering both furniture and flooring solutions. The initial strategy to sell flooring to their existing customer base didn’t gain traction, but a second pivot targeting general contractors proved to be a breakthrough.
Thanks to long-standing relationships with local contractors, OFDC quickly earned trust and repeat business. Their ability to handle complex administrative demands, inherited from their furniture division, gave them a competitive edge in flooring—especially on larger, paperwork-heavy projects.
Today, OFDC operates out of Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Tampa, with Tampa representing a key growth market. Their reputation for reliability, adaptability, and performance has made them a trusted partner in commercial interiors across the region.
Why This Partnership Matters
OFDC’s journey into flooring wasn’t just a business decision—it was a strategic reinvention rooted in grit and vision. Their story mirrors the values that define Starnet Worldwide: adaptability, excellence, and a commitment to long-term relationships.
“We’re excited to be part of a network that values quality and collaboration,” said Joe Gammons. “Starnet gives us the tools and relationships to grow smarter, serve better, and continue evolving in a way that honors our history and prepares us for the future.”
