Rick Pendergrass
Owner
Rick and his wife Debbi, both Michigan natives, moved to Phoenix in 1982. Rick began working for a local newspaper selling advertising and one of his accounts was Direct Carpet Outlet. Never thinking, prior to moving to Arizona, he would ever sell floor covering Rick accepted a position in sales for Direct Carpet Outlet. He soon moved into the General Manager position and in 1992 he and Debbi had the opportunity to purchase Direct Carpet Outlet which at that time was owned by Danube Carpet Mill located in Chattanooga Tennessee.

In April 1996 Direct Carpet Outlet joined with Carpet One and became Direct Carpet One. Carpet One is the largest group of independent retailers in the world with the buying power of over 1400 stores worldwide. As a locally owned flooring store Rick is committed to excellence. His goal is to consistently offer the most outstanding service possible to every customer.
