Ghent, NY, March 11--Menards, the nation’s third largest home improvement store chain, has become the latest major U.S. outlet to feature Fabulous Floors magazine. The current issue, Winter ‘05, will begin appearing on Menards newsstands immediately.
According to Publisher Sonna Calandrino, "Within the next week, every one of the approximately 200 Menards retail stores will receive a full supply of this issue. Fabulous Floors Winter ’05 will remain on sale for the remainder of the 90-day quarterly run and will be replaced with the Spring issue due for display April 19."
Now in its second year and distributed internationally, Fabulous Floors is the first consumer publication dedicated solely to flooring fashion as an interior design element.
"Fabulous Floors readers are or soon will be starting a homebuilding, remodeling or decorating project which includes flooring," said Calandrino. "Within our pages, consumers can find out about every flooring type, what’s new and how each can be best used, from fashion to day-to-day practicality. We go beyond pretty pictures and product descriptions. Our readers want useful information on fashion, decorating and coordinating their own flooring project, help with the shopping process, answers to questions they wish they could ask the experts, how fresh flooring brings a room to life and where to find flooring fast."
The publisher said, "The Fabulous Floors Winter ‘05 issue features information and smart ideas to transform every room in the house beginning with fabulous-looking floors. We’ve got ways to turn those ideas into reality with not only the latest in flooring but also paint, fabric and interior design."
