Our last facility had a storage room with an unsealed concrete floor. It always passed our conductivity tests so we left it as it was. In our current facility, a small shipping area is the same way. I can measure conductivity from this floor to the ESD flooring in our shop area and get an acceptable reading per ESD/EOS recommendations. You'll need to check you floor to be sure, but you may have a good chance of not needing to do anything additional to the floor. Of course, this assumes you keep it clean and don't allow it to be waxed <g>.
