While operating their retail flooring business, Lenny and Christine Rankin watched
as customers struggled to make purchasing decisions for their homes in their retail
store.In 1991, they developed a business model that would bring the sales floor to
the customer. People said they were crazy. That it would never work. But their growing
number of loyal customers proved the naysayers wrong. And Carpet Network was
born. Now, the shop-at-home model is one of the fastest-growing trends in the industry!

Carpet Network continues to bring exciting innovations to the flooring and window-covering business. We developed a sales support system exclusively for our franchisees that makes
in-home sales a snap. Our in-home technology auto planner is easy to use and runs on a
tablet computer. It allows you to input measurements, show different materials, calculate
margins and up-sell product quickly and efficiently. And because it calculates for you there's
less waste andmuch fewer estimating errors. Carpet Network franchisees have found that
our in-home technology system dramatically improves their sales and margins.

A family business that treats you like family.
We take our partnership with our franchisees as seriously as we take our role in the
growing mobile carpet, flooring and window treatment industry. Many of our
franchisees have been with us for 10 or more years and we are proud to be recognized
year after year in the Franchise 50 Franchisee Satisfaction Awards.

Throughout the year, franchisees that meet or exceed our sales goals are rewarded
with a point system. They can then use their earned points to travel with their families
and our corporate staff to our national convention. It’s a chance for all of us to
solidify our connections to each other, to our vendors and to the success of the
Carpet Network franchise system. Plus, it’s a lot of fun!
