Tile Shop CEO Homeister Leaves, Rucker to Serve as Interim

Minneapolis, MN, October 31, 2017-Tile Shop announced that Chris Homeister has stepped down as chief executive officer.

Robert Rucker, who founded the company and served as its CEO for many years, and is a current member of the company’s board of directors, has been named interim CEO. 

The Board is beginning a search for a replacement CEO.

Commented Rucker, “Chris and the board have mutually decided this is the right time to re-focus the company on its core strategy that was key to its historic growth and profitability and it makes sense at this time to set up the leadership team with a new CEO to take the company forward. Kirk Geadelmann, the company’s chief financial officer, and the other members of the executive leadership team will continue in their current roles.”
