Fikes Fixed It: In-House Catalog
We’re excited to share that the Fikes of Minnesota product catalog has officially moved in-house! After receiving valuable feedback from our customers, we decided to make a change. We took action to simplify and enhance our website, making it easier to find the products and information you need. This means faster updates, better accuracy, and a catalog that reflects exactly what we offer. You’ll see some changes as we fine-tune and refresh the listings, all part of making things easier and more efficient for you.
The catalog is now hosted directly on our website, and requires an account to view. To create an account, you just need your basic information as well as your Fikes account number (which can be found on your invoices).
Thank you for your patience as we’ve made this transition, we are confident the new in-house catalog will make your ordering experience smoother and more reliable than ever!

Winter Is Coming: Protect Your Floors & Guests
As winter approaches, Minnesota businesses are getting ready for snow, slush, and salt, and with that comes extra challenges in keeping floors clean and safe. Moisture tracked in from outside can quickly lead to slippery entryways and dull-looking floors.
A simple yet effective way to reduce these issues is by using entrance mats. The right mat helps capture dirt and moisture at the door, preventing it from being spread throughout your facility. This not only improves safety by reducing slip hazards, but also extends the life of your flooring and cuts down on cleaning time.
At Fikes of Minnesota, we offer durable 3' x 5' mats designed to stand up to Minnesota’s toughest winter conditions. Our mats help trap water and debris, keeping your entryways and/or bathrooms cleaner and your guests safer.
Now is the perfect time to prepare your facility for the season ahead. A small change like adding a quality mat where it’s needed can make a big difference in protecting both your floors and the people who walk on them all winter long.
