In January of 1970, Terry Lewis founded Midwest Carpet Supply in Evansville, IN.
On one of his yearly visits to the Chicago Carpet Market, Terry had finished purchasing carpet for Midwest and wandered up to the floors of the International Rug Market, serendipitously taking place alongside the Carpet Market.
He immediately fell in love with the vibrant hand-knotted rugs and knew there was no turning back.
Even with his years of experience in the floor covering business, Terry spent the next year learning about hand-made rugs from several well known and successful rug retailers from across the Midwest, as well as traveling to the countries where these alluring rugs were made.
