General Info

Marion's Carpet & Flooring Warehouses started in 1965 as a furniture upholstery business on Southeast 52nd. Marion Skoro, the founder, had immigrated here from Croatia and ran the business with his wife, Mirela. One day, a man came in and dropped a chair off to be reupholstered. He became a friend of Marion's and brought in many pieces of furniture to be reupholstered over the course of a few years. This man was a representative of one of the largest carpet manufacturers in the world, and through this friendship, Marion began selling carpet and quit doing upholstery in 1976.
