Cost Less Carpet was born
in Pasco, WA in 1993. In 1994, we added a store in Boise,
ID. In 1999,
we opened a store in Hermiston, OR. In 2000,
we opened our first superstore, and headquarters,
in Richland, WA. We also added a store in Moses Lake, WA that same year. In 2006 a store was added in Walla Walla, WA. In 2007, we will open another one in Columbia Falls, MT.
We started with an idea that was totally foreign to the
floor covering industry at the time - instead of just buying product
as you "special order" it, and being at the mercy of the manufacturer for
pricing, we buy product in large quantities. This gives us
the leverage to dictate
to the manufacturer what we will pay. We ship by the truckload and sell by the pallet load,
so our freight rates are lower. We have low overhead, because
we operate and sell out of our warehouses, so we do not have
to maintain glitzy and costly showrooms. When you
combine all of
these factors, it means lower prices for you, the customer.
We purchase a vast array of products from all points of the
globe direct from the factory, so you know you're getting
the absolute,
rock bottom price.
Our growth and added locations have dramatically increased
our buying power. In fact, in some cases, we sell products
to customers
at a lower price than our competitors can buy them at.
We are in a position now that the manufacturers realize
that we are a serious force, and a high volume account.
This means
that not only do we buy our stock at the lowest prices,
but we also have the lowest cost on products that we special
order.
This gives you the confidence of knowing that no matter
what
the product, you will find the lowest prices at Cost Less Carpet. |
