Sioux Falls, SD.—Thornton Flooring & Design Center, based here, has acquired all nine Carpetland USA locations across two Midwestern states.
Following the move, Thornton will operate 12 locations, serving markets from eastern Wyoming to western Illinois. Eric Langan, CEO of the nine Carpetland USA stores (the Langan Group), will serve as president of the combined company. The Carpetland USA locations will continue to operate under the Carpetland USA name, and Langan and his team will lead day-to-day operations.
“For both Thornton and Carpetland USA, this transaction marks a new chapter defined by shared values, strong community ties and a commitment to long-term growth,” said Matt Thornton, CEO of Thornton Flooring. “I have known Eric Langan for nearly 10 years, and I am thrilled to partner with him and the Carpetland USA team to strengthen our collective presence in the Midwest.”
Carpetland USA recently celebrated 50 years as a family-run business. “The most important thing to me was finding a partner who is looking to grow and will continue to take excellent care of our customers and dedicated team members,” Langan said.
