Lumber Liquidators on Top in Forbes List

Toano, VA, Oct. 15, 2009--Lumber Liquidators has been named number one on the Forbes list of the 200 Best Small Companies, a list of companies that show both sales and earnings growth.

To make the list companies must have annual revenue between $5 million and $750 million, be publicly traded for at least a year and have a stock price no lower than $5.

Rankings are based on earnings growth, sales growth and return on equity in the past 12 months and over five years.

"Longer store hours, a commission-driven sales staff and plenty of marketing savvy have helped in the housing downturn," Forbes said.
