First Retail Location 3175 Buford Hwy Duluth Ga
May 17th, 1985, Donny Philips opened doors to his first location, “Atlanta Carpets”, where he built the foundation for Atlanta Flooring Design Centers. In one year he quickly developed an amazing reputation within the residential, main street commercial markets, and the local community of Duluth.

Second Retail Location
3164 Buford Hwy

As the company grew swiftly, he expanded the business further in the following year. He opened his second location in Proctor Square, allowing easier access to on-site material storage and delivery. This gave way to hiring the company’s second and third employees, one, Alan Franks - who is still actively selling flooring with us over 35 years later. The company further grew, expanding into new markets to service both commercial contractors and custom builders.
