Q&A: Marge Kehrer Flamme, San Diego Regional Sales Manager, Ark Floors
Rigid vinyl plank is taking over a large share of the flooring market, and not everyone is in agreement that it’s the best thing for the independent retailer. Marge Kehrer Flamme has been in flooring since the 90s, holding positions with major manufacturers and distributors and as a former retail store owner of Old Town Flooring in Tustin, Calif. Today, she is the San Diego regional sales manager for Ark Floors, a manufacturer of solid and engineered hardwood and moldings. We connected with Flamme recently to learn how rigid vinyl plank is affecting wood sales among retailers.
