With just 42 member companies, the National Floorcovering Alliance (NFA) might be small in size, but its members are mighty in the retail flooring business and their respective markets, each with individual annual sales of more than $10 million. These retail powerhouses are leading the independent retailer pack, while benefiting from the knowledge, expertise, comradery and overall combined strength of the close-knit collective.
“We were part of [a group] before that was a larger one, but then we realized that with the largeness you sometimes end up losing intimate time to just chat and build friendships,” said Jason McSwain of Cincinnati-based McSwain Flooring, and NFA board president.
