Two Texas Retailers Merge Operations

Denton, TX, Feb. 2, 2010--Two of Texas’ most prominent flooring retailers are merging.

Scott Steel, owner of three My Flooring America floor covering stores in the Houston region, and Kelby Frederick, owner of two Flooring America operations in the Dallas area, merged their group of family owned-and-operated stores on Jan. 1.
 
All of Steel and Frederick’s five locations fall under the My Flooring America name, including the Denton and Texarkanalocations formerly known as Flooring America.
 
The two families have a combined 61 years of serving the Texas region in the flooring business.

“This merger will allow us to further develop a truly dedicated customer service process that will be with our customers every step of the way,” said Kelby Frederick. “Some companies merge out of necessity. But we merged because our stores were in great positions, and we saw the opportunity to continue growing our business together rather than as separate companies,” stated Scott Steel.
 
In addition to the five stores currently in operation, Steel and Frederick are set to open a new My Flooring America location in Flower Mound in late February.
