Charlotte, NC, October 20, 2006--Flooring-products retailer The Floor Trader plans to enter the Charlotte market with four stores by the end of 2008, according to the Charlotte Business Journal.
The move is part of the company's national growth strategy to add 20 stores across the United States.
Potential locations for the Charlotte-area stores haven't been disclosed.
The Floor Trader, a division of CCA Global Partners, sells more than 3,000 flooring products in a warehouse-style environment. Its offerings include carpet, laminate, ceramic, hardwood and vinyl products, according to the Charlotte Business Journal.
The company's stores range from 7,800 square feet to 20,000 square feet.
"The Charlotte market has been thoroughly researched and shows tremendous success potential for new Floor Trader locations," says Eric Demaree, president. "The growth in home remodeling expenditures has created a great demand for a consumer-focused flooring destination."
CCA Global, based in Missouri and New Hampshire, is a privately held company established in 1984 as Carpet Co-op of America. CCA Global's affiliates are involved in the flooring, lighting, mortgage banking and biking industries.
