Founded in 2022 by Dan Carr and Marcia Carr, Carr's Floor Trader Outlet has quickly become a go-to home improvement destination on the Emerald Coast. The 15,000 s/f building has been a cash-and-carry flooring store since 1992, but under Carr's ownership, it has revitalized its customer experience and expanded its product selection. The Carr's Floor Trader Outlet's commitment to exceptional customer service has made it a favorite among residents, designers, and local contractors. In addition to the benefits of The Floor Trader cooperative's merchandising and marketing programs and collective buying power, which allows it to pass savings on to its customers, Carr's Floor Trader Outlet has excelled since Day 1. Carr's journey was inspired by connections forged at a 2022 Shining Stars meeting for Flooring America. There, he met Rob Smith of RPS CARPET & FLOORING WHOLESALERS LLC and Keith Spano, President of The Floor Trader Outlet. "They gave me the confidence to go out on my own and pursue and fulfill my dream of owning my own store. Thank you, Keith and Rob, for giving us the confidence to take the leap and make this dream a reality! Also, thank you to my wife Marcia, who has always believed in me and has always been there with me every step of the way." #floortrader #cooperatives #membership #retail #smallbusiness #flooring #emeraldcoast #fortwaltonbeach #familyowned #homeimprovement
