Tom Hadinger of Hadinger's Flooring Has Died
Naples, FL, January 22, 2026-Tom Hadinger, 87, of Hadinger’s Flooring died January 20.
In 1931, Tom’s father opened a jewelry business in Wisconsin, and Tom followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming a jeweler. Tom bought the business from his father in 1965 then purchased a second jewelry store in a nearby town. Soon, Tom found himself needing carpet for one of the stores. He contacted a carpet distributor and worked out a deal, then went on to sell carpet to a few friends through his distributor connection. Eventually, he came to realization that carpet would be a more lucrative business than jewelry.
Tom converted the basement of one jewelry store into a carpet store and added furniture as well. Eventually, he sold both jewelry stores and purchased a larger location for his flooring and furniture business.
In 1976, Tom opened a flooring store in Naples, Florida and, eventually, another in Fort Myers. Today, Tom’s daughter Susan runs the Naples business, while Macco’s Floor Covering bought the Fort Myers location.
