Floor Coverings Galore In Piedmont Triad For Sale

Business description

For decades, catering to the retail homeowner and the wholesale builder / remodeler, this store has provided virtually every type and major brand of floor covering from vinyl and ceramic tiles to laminate and hardwood floors to carpets and rugs with ceiling tiles and counter tops as well. This wide range of vendors and suppliers is one of several differences that distinguishes this operation from other local options.

Gross Margins have been consistently above 40% even in the worst of times. Wholesale customers have produced very few account write-offs thus preserving their sales volume.
