History
Early history Founded by brothers, Duke and Stanley Goldberg, the first Rite Rug store was opened on the corner of Cherry and High Streets in Columbus, Ohio, in 1934. They primarily sold carpet flooring and rugs. In the 1960s, Rite Rug began expanding, opening a second store on E. Main Street and then a third store on Morse Road in Columbus.
Today Today, RiteRug Flooring is run by the second and third generations of the Goldberg family. The company has expanded its product line over 90 years of business to include the sale and installation of hardwood, laminate, tile, and vinyl flooring. RiteRug Flooring currently operates 40 stores in 11 states, 12 of which are in Central Ohio. The company serves homeowners and businesses through seven specialized divisions: Retail, In-Home shopping, Commercial, Property Management, Wholesale, Direct-to-Real Estate Agents, and Residential Home builders. RiteRug Flooring partners with a number of leading floor industry brands, including Mohawk and Shaw.
In-Home Shopping In the 1960s, the company's Shopping at Home with Mr. Edwards service was launched. The jingle "call Mr. Edwards at Rite Rug" became well known in Columbus. Today, RiteRug Flooring continues to offer this service, now known as In-Home Shopping.
