About USA Flooring

For over 40 years USA Flooring has serviced the homes and businesses of North Carolina. For two generations we have lived, worked, and raised our families here. North Carolina is our home.

Established in 1972

USA Flooring opened in the early 1970’s as a full-service flooring store in Frederick, Maryland, operating then as Ken Lloyd’s Carpet Towne. In 1984, Mr. Lloyd opened locations in both Raleigh and Fayetteville . These two stores operated as flooring outlets that provided a large selection of in-stock flooring. But Mr. Lloyd soon learned his customers wanted a broader flooring selection and an option for quality installation. He bridged the concepts of a flooring outlet with that of a full-service retail store. This began the concept of providing customers an opportunity to find quality flooring and installation at discount pricing.

Kris

In 1996, Mr. Lloyd’s eldest son, Kris, began working in the USA Flooring Raleigh location as Warehouse Personnel. Over the years he worked his way up in the company as a Salesman, an Assistant Manager in Durham, and eventually a Store Manager back in Raleigh. In 2003 Kris’ wife began working for the company, and in 2004 they both became minority partners. In 2009, a second-generation Lloyd family took the leap and became sole owners of USA Flooring.
