How it all began... In the summer of 1976 my father, Jack Petruzzelli, started a retail carpet store in the City of Orange. At the young age of 18, my role changed shortly thereafter from warehouse manager to owner / operator when my father suddenly passed away at the young age of 52. My vision was to continue my father's legacy by bringing together the very best the industry had to offer. Big names, brand names, department store quality at the time. The thing is, I wanted to offer it to my customers at a discount so we could attract more of them to our showroom. The established dealers, who only sold quality product lines, did so at the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). I was looking to change that.
