Armstrong Announces 2016 Elite Retailers of the Year

Lancaster, PA, May 24, 2017-Armstrong Flooring is excited to announce its 2016 Elite Retailers of the Year: gold-Baker Brothers; silver-Riemer Floors; and bronze-WorldWide Wholesale, as well as honorable mentions for United Flooring Group and Floor Covering Associates. 

The award is based on a variety of factors, including sales, lead conversion rates, overall program support, showroom quality and website excellence.

The 2016 Gold Elite Retailer of the Year, Baker Bros, has been flooring Arizona since 1945. All seven locations are locally owned and operated; they are committed to giving customers the best that flooring has to offer, from product to installation.

Silver Elite Retailer of the Year, Riemer Floors, was founded in 1946 by Harry Riemer, a flooring installer who decided to embark on a new venture in life, and to provide customers with quality products and professional installation. In the beginning, Harry sold, measured, and installed many of his jobs. Eventually, as his business grew, he recruited a number of his former co-workers into the business. Ultimately, he expanded from retail into commercial and new home-builder relationships. Seventy years later, the business is continued by his sons Dennis, Keith and Paul, and two granddaughters Kimberly and Ashlee, using the same principles instilled by their father/grandfather. The family-business mindset and commitment to quality and satisfied customers continues to differentiate Riemer Floors.

WorldWide Wholesale has been named the Bronze Elite Retailer of the Year. Worldwide was founded in 1991 and recently celebrated their 25th anniversary.  The company is based in central/northern Jersey and services the market through three large format stores
