Who We Are

Family-Owned New Port Richey, Tampa, and St. Petersburg carpet and flooring.

Tampa Bay’s source for flooring for more than two decades. Founded in St. Petersburg, Florida, by J. D. Manning, The Carpet Store is still family owned and operated by J. D.’s children and grandchildren. That’s three generations of flooring expertise and the high level of customer service that only a family business can bring.

Imagine the expertise and customer service of an independent retailer, but with the affordable prices of a large chain — the best of both worlds! Whether you need new flooring in St. Petersburg tile installer or an experienced carpet installation in Tampa, visit one of our three Tampa Bay locations:

• St. Petersburg Carpet and Flooring
• Tampa Carpet and Flooring
• New Port Richey Carpet and Flooring

J. D. Manning, our founder, was known for his honesty, ethics, and fairness — a tradition the family-owned business continues today. What sets us apart from other retailers is our three core principles:

1. Maintain one of Tampa Bay’s largest in-stock inventories in low-overhead warehouse showrooms.
2. Focus on large quantities of lower-profit-margin transactions.
3. Be honest.

Think of it this way: we try to be a hummingbird, not a boa constrictor. Because we focus on high-volume selling, we can offer high-quality flooring at cheap prices. We think that making ten easy lower-profit deals is much better than trying to squeeze extra profit out of fewer deals. Check our prices against other dealers: If you can get it for less somewhere else, then it’s an amazing deal.

You can expect honesty and honestly good deals.
It’s simple. When you visit one of our three warehouse showrooms, you can expect straight shooters. It’s no joke: we don’t use gimmicks or games, just good old-fashioned cheap pricing on great flooring. You’ll want to tell your friends, family, and co-workers about the great deal we gave you.
