We presently own and operate four stores in Ohio located in Defiance, Bryan, Van Wert, and Napoleon. We opened our first retail outlet store in 2002 and thanks to our dedicated 22 employees and over 4000+ satisfied customers we have been able to grow quickly.
Our goal has always been to do a quality job with quality products at a reasonable price. We have trucks coming in from the mills daily to keep our stores stocked. All of our current locations are roll stocking stores stocking several miles of carpet for same day pickup, installation and or delivery.
The business is so successful that the Defiance location now resides in a 9,000 sq.ft. building, built in 2003. Our new store in Bryan opened January 1st 2006 and is also 9,000 sq.ft. with showroom floors in Ceramics, Laminates and Carpets
The business stands firmly by its logo “prices so low even we don’t believe it,” we credit its success to four basic things -- low prices, quality materials, workmanship and fast service.
We insist on doing quality work and service! Word of mouth advertising may be a little old school, but it's the best school if you want any kind of reputation or longevity in this business.

The business, which is open to the general public as well as contractors, offers a large selection of flooring materials including carpet, laminates, linoleum, vinyl, ceramic tile, and hardwood flooring.
Carpet selections feature primarily Beaulieu and Shaw. Most of the vinyl and linoleum flooring comes from Armstrong and Mannington. Ceramic Tiles feature Shaw products along with a selection of high quality tiles from other manufacturers. The company has 20 different styles of laminates in stock with over 300 styles to choose from.
When we opened our first store we began selling our in-stock 8 mill laminate for $1.19 sq.ft. which was unheard of around here. Now we offer some as low as $.99 a square foot. Breaking the traditional margins on flooring for consumers and being the industry leaders in flooring prices is something we have been doing for years and will continue to do.
Thanks to our business modeling our customers get good quality at lower prices. We don't have crazy mark-ups, no gimmicks or tricks. We've proven we can grow and be more successful long term by just keeping it simple.
Customer service and installation are two things that really help to generate word of mouth business for Carpet Wholesalers. We Offer free estimates on any size flooring job with a dedicated team of installers with a combined experience of over 100 years.
My wife Ann and I both grew up in Northwest Ohio. With the exception of 2 years in the military, we have been residents of NW Ohio for 50 years. 100% Customer satisfaction is our number one goal. When meeting you on the street, we want to shake your hand and be part of all our stores communities.
Come and see what the flooring market has been talking about. I know you will enjoy your shopping experience with us at Carpet Wholesalers. See you Soon!
Thank You...
