PRINCETON — Wyanet Carpet announced that the company has joined Flooring America, one of the nation’s largest flooring covering cooperatives. The store’s transformation to a Flooring America was completed this week.

Flooring America, a division of CCA Global Partners, the nation’s largest floor covering cooperative, supports more than 500 independent, locally-owned flooring retailers.

“Joining Flooring America gives me the opportunity to elevate my business in a way that wouldn’t be possible without the support of a powerhouse floor covering cooperative,” said owner Todd Burrows. “As a locally-owned business, it’s my goal to offer my customers the best selection of quality products at the best price and becoming a Flooring America member will allow me to achieve this goal.”

“Congratulations to Todd and Debra Burrows and Wyanet Carpet for joining the Flooring America cooperative,” said Keith Spano, president of Flooring America. “By joining the Flooring America cooperative, Wyanet Carpet will gain access to the best-in-class programs from technology to merchandising that we have implemented for our members to leverage to help them propel their businesses forward.”

Owners Gerri and Ken Blitsch operated Wyanet Carpet in Wyanet from 1978 to 1988 before moving it to Princeton. Harry Burrows, Todd’s father, managed the store until he and his wife, Theresa, bought it from the Blitsches in the late 1990s. Todd and Debra Burrows bought the business from his parents  in 2007.
