When Truman was president and Joe Luis was champion, Cinderella Showcase opened it's doors.

Founded as a family business in 1947, Cinderella Showcase, Inc. has grown to be the largest full-service floor and window covering company on California's Central Coast. The organization has three separate locations, including Cinderella Carpet full-service retail stores in Salinas and San Luis Obispo. Both carry a complete line of carpet, vinyl, hardwood floors and window coverings for home owners, builders, property management, government building, medical care facilities and commercial property owners.

In 1981, Discount Carpets was founded in Salinas to meet the need for an outlet supplying low-to median-priced carpets at below-retail prices . With the expanding needs of commercial business, two new companies were formed: the Floor Center, a full-service company exclusively for commercial and subdivision customers; and ProSource, a member-only, wholesale company offering manufacturer-direct pricing.

The Professional Advantage
Cinderella Showcase has consistently exceeded its goals of providing customers with:

• The financial strength necessary to finish long-running projects,

• The ability to complete installations within set time limits, and

• The assurance of quality workmanship with follow-up protection.

In 1989, Pope John Paul made a special visit to the United States. His itinerary included Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey County where a large platform was to be constructed especially for the event. The platform, which used as much lumber as would be necessary to build 15 houses, required 15,000 square yards of carpet. Cinderella Showcase was awarded the project.

Beginning at 6 a.m. the day before the event, the carpet was completely installed by 3 p.m. that same day. The California Air Show is an annual event drawing the finest display of air showmanship in the country. Each year, Cinderella Showcase has installed the 7,000 square yards of carpet necessary for the tents and viewing chalets. The Training Facility at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant required the installation of 3,500 square yards of carpeting throughout the highly-technical, sensitive complex.

75% Repeat Business
The highly trained design staff and expert installers at Cinderella Showcase represent more years of experience than all other carpet companies on the Central Coast combined. From blueprints or site review, each job begins with an eye for exacting detail in each phase: evaluation and planning; design coordination of color and textures; and pricing. With installation crews, each averaging 12 years experience, deadlines are consistently met and quality is always guaranteed. The majority of customers return to Cinderella Showcase because they depend on the service and quality they receive. Projects include:
