Calhoun, Ga.—At its 2015 Solutions Convention, Mohawk announced the winners of the company’s National Retailer of the Year awards, which recognized the top-performing retailers for both the ColorCenter and Floorscapes aligned retailer programs. Manasota Flooring and Carpet Weaver’s shared the top honor within the Floorscapes category while Mark’s Flooring and Royal Flooring were both named ColorCenter Retailer of the Year. Store owners Bob Tiffany, Mark and Tyler Weaver, Mark Compston, Nick Fiala, Johnnie Kennell, Bill Ludwig and Scott Sullivan were recognized before industry leaders and their retailer peers at the prestigious Mohawk aligned retailer gala in Orlando, Florida.
“For the first time ever, we made the decision to name two winners in each category because of each retailer’s incredible success and demonstrated commitment to the Mohawk aligned program,” said David Duncan, senior vice president of marketing and sales operations at Mohawk. “All four retail stores are best-in-class retail businesses and their associates are experts in all aspects of flooring, including product, marketing, service and installation. These retailers are assets to their communities, and we are proud to include them as a business partner and an integral part of the Mohawk family.”
Mohawk uses various criteria to identify its Retailers of the Year out of thousands of aligned stores throughout the United States and Canada. Primarily, the company looks for retail stores that are true ambassadors of the Floorscapes and ColorCenter programs and exhibit an ongoing commitment to training, store standards, brand building, merchandising, installation ideas and community involvement. Mohawk’s National Retailer of the Year winners are selected from the company’s pre-selected regional winners.
