National rug retail franchise seeks entrepreneurs within the furniture marketplace

ST. LOUIS – Rug Décor, America’s only nationwide specialty rug retail franchise, is gearing up to attend the World Market Center Las Vegas being held January 28 through February 1, 2008 at the Las Vegas Market at the Pavilions booth # P21702.

The World Market Center Las Vegas is the world’s fastest growing home furnishings event. By being in attendance, Rug Décor is proving their commitment to advancing the educational and business opportunities for the furniture and home décor community.

Rug Décor’s exhibit will enable attending entrepreneurs to learn about the Rug Décor’s proven business model and franchise opportunities. With 37 U.S. locations currently operating, Rug Decor has aggressive national expansion plans, seeking entrepreneurs to open up to 40 new stores nationwide by the end of 2009.

“We see this convention as a great fit for our business model,” says Scott Hayim, President of Rug Décor. “Rug Décor can be a productive use of retail space that often goes unused in furniture stores and the World Market Center Las Vegas is a great outlet for expressing this belief.”

The rug retailer concept is an attractive investment that is a natural addition for furniture retailers’ business portfolios. With a turnkey retail model and a huge selection of inexpensive luxuries for the home, Rug Décor offers productive and flexible use of retail space often located adjacent to or nearby existing furniture store locations.

“Rug Décor’s development and location strategy identifies home design centers across the nation, enabling store operators to establish themselves as a home furnishing destination,” says Mark Jameson, vice president of franchise development with Rug Décor. “No other rug retailer can offer this type of opportunity everywhere across the nation.”
