In 2010, the United States was in the midst of one of the worst economic recessions in history. Many businesses capsized under the weight of the sudden downturn, with many more struggling to stay afloat. While most entrepreneurs steered clear of this uneasy and uncharted territory, others viewed the circumstances as a challenge. One of those entrepreneurs is Glenn Scher, the founder and CEO of Carpets To Go.
Prior to launching his company, Glenn was told by many people that this was not the time to invest in a retail business. However, this did not stop Glenn from opening a carpet and flooring installation store in Howell Township! They pointed to the unstable economy as a deterrent for making such a hefty investment, both mentally and financially. Still, Glenn persevered. Equipped with a dream in his heart and a clear vision of success, these words did not affect his outlook.
