Shaw Industries President Randy Merritt will retire by the end of the year after nearly 42 years of service. When he steps down on December 15, he leaves a role that established him as a celebrity in his own right (not that he would admit that) and a friend to many.
“I was telling a customer yesterday that I feel very confident that anywhere I go in the United States, in any city in the country, there is somebody I could call if I needed help and they would help,” Merritt said. “That’s a pretty good feeling.”
