| Article | ORLANDO— Mohawk dealer Todd Wenner won $50,000 during the annual ColorCenter® convention in Orlando Feb. 14th through the 17th. Wenner, owner of Lima Carpet Corporation in Avon, NY, spelled out “MOHAWK” with dice during a Game of Chance, winning the grand prize after only one roll. “I thought, ‘wait a second here’,” Wenner said. “I just spelled something.” He went through the letters in his head, trying to see if they actually did spell “Mohawk.” As the crowd around him realized he’d won and cheered wildly, he said he calmly dialed his wife Renee on his cell phone to tell her the news. “The Mohawk ColorCenter® Convention is an exciting time, but I’m not sure any of us were prepared for this,” said Manny Llerena, Vice President of Retail Marketing for Mohawk. “We are delighted that Todd leaves the convention knowing he has great ideas, great product and a great big check on the way.” The Games of Chance were held during the convention’s four-hour-only Sales Extravaganza., where dealers get the lowest pricing and best values of the year and enjoy dinner, games, and entertainment. Other winners during the evening took home cash, tickets to NASCAR races, cell phones, and other prizes. Lima Carpet Company recently celebrated its 40th year in business and has been a Mohawk ColorCenter® dealer for more than 12 years. Three years ago, the Wenners upgraded to the Mohawk ColorCenter® Elite program, which offers a powerful selling system for improving profitability. Founded in 1974, the Mohawk ColorCenter® program is the flooring industry’s oldest co-branding program and provides consumers with an easy-to-understand presentation of carpet, hardwood, laminate, ceramic, resilient, cushion, rugs, and other flooring products. |
