John and Karen Rosser, the original owners, sold the family floor covering business after it burnt to the ground. Dean and Brenda Wilson then took over the family business in August of 1985. With dedication and a strong determination, they strived to have the best prices on the most current and modern flooring available and offer quality installation. At that time, Dean and Brenda Wilson had five
children that ranged in age from seven to twenty five years old. Shortly thereafter, Deon Wilson, the oldest of the children, came on board and began working in outside sales building great relationships with home builders and helping in the ongoing task of new construction homes. In recent years, he has worked with builders and contractors that have included many projects in the Parade of Homes. From 1985 thru 1993 all of the children at one time worked in the family business. In 1994, Mark Wilson began working full time in inside sales and helping assist with walk-in traffic. Today, Deon and Mark along with their spouses Nancy & Heather are working just as hard today to make sure that they help people across the East Tennessee area choose the flooring that fits them best in todays homes with top notch installation crews, and a fast and courteous sales staff in Karen’s Carpets is truly The Store That Gives You More!
