Coffee Hour January 8, 2010

Highland Business Association's Coffee Hour will be hosted by Carpet Classics Floor Studio. Carpet Classics has been around sine it was founded by Marge Aretha in 1984, They changed their name from Carpet Classics to Carpet Classics Floor Studio because they wanted the public to know that they were so much more than just carpeting; how about tile, hardwood, laminates, linoleum, cork and so much more. As most independent entrepreneurs Marge Aretha founded her busines on the principals of personalized service and unbeatable selection. Which translates into wonderful quality, attention and caring at reasonable prices. I know that I like going into a store where they know my name and maybe even the last project I was working on at my home so that they can assist in moving me forward. As most of our local sommunity businesses this one too started as a family business and everyone from nieces and nephews to close friends were found working at this wonderful establishment.

Carpet Classics was originally located at the corner of M59 & Duck Lake Rd, in the Highland Corners center. In 1989, they moved to their current location at 144 South Milford Road, in the Highland Station district. They offer samples to take home and see how they look in your environment under your lights, they have their own installers, they give free estimates and most importantly they are local merchants who live and work in our community. Because they live and work in our community they have a give back to the community program where you can pick the charity.

They remember their beginnings and strive to maintain Marge's vision every day. To provide service, selection, and value, where you and your project no matter the size are as important to them as it is to you and you won't get run over by a forklift, like one of those "Big Box" stores. Stop by this wonderful local business on Friday and check out how they can assist you in your next project no matter the size or budget.
