BALTIMORE, MD., May 5, 2025 – Fishman Flooring Solutions, a leading distributor of flooring and flooring installation supplies, has opened its newest branch in Linthicum Heights, Maryland effective May 5, 2025. The branch is strategically placed to serve the Southern Baltimore pickup market and will provide customers fast, convenient access to Fishman’s broad inventory of flooring and flooring installation supplies.

“The opening of the Linthicum Heights location, which is our 48th branch, is the latest chapter in the deliberate growth of our business,” said Shane Richmond, president of Fishman Flooring Solutions. “Late in 2024, we purchased the W.J. Grosvenor distribution business, which gave us a foothold in the New England market and, in the past two years, we have opened branches in the Louisville, Kentucky and Fredericksburg, Virginia growth markets.”

Eli Lopez has been named manager of the new Linthicum Heights branch. Lopez joined Fishman in 2022 as assistant branch manager at Fishman’s Harrisburg, Pennsylvania location. The new branch, which has approximately 5,000 square feet of space, is located at 1344A W. Nursery Road, Linthicum Heights, Maryland 21090. It will be open from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday.

Fishman approaches the opening of new markets very strategically, according to Richmond. “We typically look to expand in markets that are in or adjacent to our footprint, where our wide range of flooring and flooring installation products and exceptional customer service differentiate us in the marketplace,” he said. “Being the biggest flooring distribution business is not Fishman’s goal. Our goal is to be the best custodian of relationships with our employees and vendors and to delight our customers with every interaction we have with them”

Fishman Flooring Solutions, a division of L. Fishman & Son, is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. It is the “Solutions Provider” distributor of flooring and flooring installation products. It has approximately 290 employees working at 48 branches serving Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
