Manchester, NH, January 12--Alan Greenberg, co-CEO of CCA Global Partners, announced today that Flooring Canada, formerly a master franchise of Flooring America, would now become a fully integrated subsidiary of CCA Global Partners.
"This is a great way to start the New Year," said Flooring America president Vinnie Virga. "Flooring America and CCA Global Partners provide a tremendous depth of resources that Flooring Canada will leverage to create even greater efficiencies and add significant value to their already very successful members.
"With Flooring Canada and Flooring America truly joined together with combined management teams, we can totally focus our efforts on taking these two powerful dual national brands to the next level, further improving our ability to service the unique needs of Canadian members."
The current Canadian management team will continue to oversee the daily business operations in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Jim Duff will continue as president and Randy McHolm as vice president, both original founders of Flooring Canada. They will continue to operate under the very successful Flooring Canada name and will continue their tradition of having a truly Canadian focus and approach to market.
"Officially joining the Flooring America family is truly a great gain for our membership," said Flooring Canada president Jim Duff. "We're building on an already outstanding and profitable relationship, with the common goal of maximizing resources and further strengthening our brands. Our operations will continue with business as usual and the only thing members will notice during the transition will be all of the good things that come from this new partnership."
Randy McHolm, vice president of Flooring Canada added, "Jim and I will now be able to focus more attention on Flooring Canada member needs, because Flooring America will assume many of the administrative duties."
Howard Brodsky, co-CEO of CCA Global Partners said, "CCA Global Partners is built fundamentally on the power of independent retailers working together all across North America and having Flooring Canada officially integrated only helps us to further increase our strength."
Flooring America and Flooring Canada, with a sales volume of $1.4 billion, consist of more than 575 member-owned floorcovering stores throughout the United States and Canada. Flooring America and Flooring Canada provide members with exclusive brands and warranty programs, comprehensive multi-media advertising programs, complete Showroom merchandising packages, plus training in management and sales. They operate as a division of CCA Global Partners, the world's largest flooring group.
