Carpet Network Franchise

Mobile floor coverings & window treatments

Carpet Network provides the national buying power that you need to make the profit you deserve. Our prices are competitive with the largest of retail chains. And because of our special purchasing agreements, there is no need for inventory to achieve these prices. As a Carpet Network franchisee, you buy directly from our leading mills and manufacturers and order only the amount of product needed as the sale occurs. We think that's perfect!

And because you're home-based, you are free from the burden and expense of managing a retail establishment. You buy a business that has minimal upfront costs, no employees, and that requires no inventory. Because our system virtually eliminates overhead expenses, you can breathe easier during the crucial development stage of your business. You keep a greater percentage of your gross sales as profits. You achieve a comfortable income based on fewer sales than a retail store would require. You know that your money is better spent on marketing and advertising your products and services to future Carpet Network customers!

There's just no place like home to make important decorating decisions. It works better for you!

As founders of Carpet Network, Lenny and I learned this simple truth while helping our customers make good decisions for their homes back in the late 1980's. At that time we owned a very successful floor covering store. We began to notice how difficult it was for our customers to select just the right color… things looked so different in the store lighting! It was hard enough making time to travel to the store for one trip, much less another to try to reselect.

Also, at that time, more and more moms were beginning to work outside of the home. This meant that busy men and women became even busier…no matter how we extended our store hours; it just wasn't convenient for everyone's schedule.

Enter, an old fashioned idea that became new again. Home visits! We decided that we would take the store to our customers! It would be a "traveling floor and window store"! We would make appointments when the customer was ready, not just when our store was open. We could give each individual customer the time and attention that their project deserved.

And the dream of Carpet Network, "The traveling floor and window store" was born.

From our humble beginnings in early 1991, the service that we have brought to our customers has been welcomed with open arms. Over these many years, Carpet Network has grown by leaps and bounds. We have many professional owners who have made the commitment to represent Carpet Network in their areas of the country. The simple idea that we can make it more convenient, more pleasant, and provide more information for our customers drives us each day to do the very best job that is humanly possible.
