IA/IL QUAD-CITIES - October 9th and 10th mark the 25th anniversary of Abbey Carpet Gallery Flooring & Interiors, locally owned and operated by longtime business partners Bill Daley and Lee Zindel. "People have been stepping on our products for 25 years, and we couldn't be happier!" Daley said.

To thank the Quad-Cities community for its ongoing support, Abbey Carpet Gallery will hold a celebration that will take place 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., October 9, and 9 a.m to 4 p.m., October 10. Abbey Carpet Gallery is located in the Walnut Center at 4811 North Brady Street, Davenport, Iowa. 

"Lee and I have worked together since the early '90s, and we've known each other for much longer than that," said Daley. "I concentrate on sales and business organization, while Lee runs the warehouse and installs carpeting for clients."

"Most customers don't realize that one of the business owners is doing the installation," said Zindel. "Customers often tell Bill that he should give me a raise!"

According to Daley, product lines offered by Abbey Carpet Gallery include residential and commercial carpeting; area rugs; vinyl tile, plank and sheet goods; hardwood floors; tile in porcelain, ceramic and natural stone; and window treatments. "With every project, our team members focus on the look and feel of the clients' finished rooms," Daley said. "In most cases, the job doesn't end with the installation of carpeting. We're happy to offer advice regarding paint, lighting and other aesthetic selections. We collaborate with the client, advising on both design and functionality."

Dedicated to Green Practices
Many customers do not realize that Abbey Carpet Gallery is dedicated to green practices. Many of their products are made with recycled or recyclable materials. To save trees, bamboo and cork are used frequently: bamboo grows back rapidly and cork is harvested from living trees. "When old carpeting materials are removed from a site, they are recycled whenever possible," Daley said. "When there are efficiencies when ordering in bulk, materials are often donated to our local Habitat for Humanity."

Daley and Zindel enjoy working with their customers and look forward to many more years of business in the Quad-Cities. "I do plan on retiring someday," Daley said, "but until then, we have a lot more floors to cover."
