Massachusetts Retailers Named Mohawk Floorscapes D

Peabody, MA, January 20, 2006--Mastrangelo's Carpet Craft of Peabody, owned by Topsfield resident Peter Matrangelo has been named the Mohawk Floorscapes Dealer of the Year for the Northeast Region, according to the Tri-Town Transcript. The announcement was made at Mohawk's annual conference in Hollywood, Fla., last month. As the Northeast Dealer of the Year, Mastrangelo's Carpet Craft was one of 10 finalists from across the country for the North American Dealer of the Year. "It certainly is quite an honor to be recognized amongst all of the superb retailers that make up the Mohawk Floorscapes group," said Mastrangelo. "It was a bit of a surprise as we had no idea until we arrived at the convention center in Florida. Being affiliated with a great program like Floorscapes and partnering with Mohawk Carpet, the largest floor covering manufacturer in the world, has been a great move for our company. The concept behind the Floorscapes program is about making the purchase of floor covering an easy and enjoyable experience. The Floorscapes showroom is unlike any floor covering store in the industry. We have just taken their concept and incorporated the same philosophy that my father Ralph has had since he started the business almost 40 years ago. Give the consumer accurate information and realistic expectations for the specific product they are buying, give them expert installation and the best value you can." "We have been a Floorscapes dealer for over five years and the reaction from our customers has been tremendous. They really see a difference in the shopping experience coming into a showroom that is designed with their needs in mind. By breaking the store into different shops or departments, our customers are able to find exactly what they are looking for on their own or, if they chose, we are more than happy to help them navigate the showroom offering advice along the way".
