Corona, CA, August 15, 2006--Recently, the FloorCo Design Center opened its stunning new showroom in Corona, California. The Corona center is the first of several Southern California locations planned by its founders, Larry Jones, the former president of Monterey Carpets, and retailer Ron Ray.
Jones began his career at DuPont, and was president of DesignWeave from 1983 to 1988. In 1988, he founded the successful design-driven company, Monterey Carpets, where he was CEO until 2002, when Tandus acquired the brand. For many years, Ron Ray has operated a successful flooring dealership, Trend West, that offers product and installation services to the trade in Orange County and the Inland Empire.
The 5,000 square foot-plus Center has over 20,000 flooring options in carpet, hardwood, tile, stone, area rugs and other hard surfaces and exotic materials. The center was created to service trade professionals, such as designers, architects, home builders and remodelers, contractors and real estate professionals. It was designed by the award winning Atlanta firm, Grant Design Collaborative,
The Corona center is the first of several Southern California locations planned by Jones and Ray. “With the explosive growth of new home construction and remodeling in Southern California, there’s substantial opportunity for this business,” Jones said. “Our goal is to provide our customers with the best flooring experience with the largest selection of designer products in the area. FloorCo Design Center provides an inviting, productive and organized space for our trade members, and we look forward to establishing quality, long-term partnerships with our clients. So, prepare to be floored when you visit our showroom!”
The Corona showroom is open to members on weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Conveniently located within minutes from Orange County at the freeway intersection of Highways 15 and 91, the location was selected due to the opposite traffic flow and central location at 146 Via Trevizio, Corona, California, 92879.
