Mohawk Names Nova Scotia Firm Dealer of Year

Washington, DC, March 3, 2009--Mohawk Industries has named Taylor Flooring of Halifax, Nova Scotia, as the 2008 Mohawk ColorCenter North American Dealer of the Year.

Owner Robert Taylor and general manager John Wells accepted the award, which was presented at the Mohawk ColorCenter Convention on Feb. 7.

Taylor Flooring was among nine regional winners for the award.

The ColorCenter Dealer of the Year Award is based on a number of criteria, including a percentage increase over previous year’s business, excellence in promoting the store concept, ongoing commitment to training, store standards, brand building, merchandising and installation ideas and community involvement.

A veteran of the distribution business, Taylor decided to open a retail flooring store in 1993. Since then, Taylor Flooring has grown to four stores. The company became a ColorCenter dealer in 2002. Two of its stores are Mohawk ColorCenter Elite showrooms; two are Mohawk ColorCenter Select. Taylor Floor has strong market share in both residential and commercial markets in the Atlantic Canada area.
