Bret Perkins & Randy Lovelace Acquire Nantahala Flooring Outlet

Franklin, NC, September 29, 2025-Bret Perkins and Randy Lovelace have acquired Nantahala Flooring Outlet, a longstanding flooring business located in Franklin, North Carolina.

The store was originally founded in 1958 by the Zickgraf family as Nantahala Lumber. In 1992, the Bodenheimer family purchased the business, expanding and modernizing its operations. With this transition, Perkins and Lovelace become just the third owners in the store’s 67-year history.

Perkins and Lovelace’s plans include expanding product offerings to paint, cabinets, countertops and appliances.
