OUR STORY
A History of Exceeding Expectations
1989
Shiva and Ali Cleoei Sr. incorporate the company and opened the doors to their first retail flooring store in Sterling, VA under the name “US Carpet & Rug” where they specialized in every kind of flooring including carpet, tile, laminate, and hardwood.
1994
US Carpet & Rug becomes a franchisee of Abbey Carpet & Floor (Abbey Carpet at the time) – a national buying group franchise headquartered in Bonita Springs, Florida. The national buying power of 800+ stores nationwide allowed us to offer nation brand names at lower prices to consumers
2000
We opened a second retail location in Leesburg, VA and offered the same continued service
2001
We expanded our offerings to home design and cabinetry to make Abbey a “one-stop-shop” for all of our client’s home remodeling needs. We changed our name to “Abbey Design Center”
2004
We finished construction on our new flagship 11,00 sq foot showroom in Sterling which continues to feature the latest in kitchen & bathroom remodeling options and design along with the floor fashions people have come to know us for over the decades
2007
We opened a new off-site division named Abbey Commercial Flooring which bids and procures commercial work. Our single project awards go up to $2.5M and include the Marriott – Columbia Square, The Dept. of Homeland Security, and Top Golf Ashburn.
2013
Shiva’s son, also named Ali after his father, leaves his legal private practice to become Vice President of Abbey Design Center
2018
Abbey Commercial Flooring moves its main headquarters to Reston, VA to be able to streamline operations for better services to our clients. Ali is promoted to President.
2019
Amir Cheloei, Shiva’s other son, leaves his career at NBC Universal and joins Ali as Executive Vice President to oversee all aspects of Abbey.
OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT
The next generation of the Cheloei family, Ali Jr. & Amir, are taking the reigns and will build on the foundation their parents laid for them for decades to come with the same grit and audacity as their predecessors. They are currently investing in client experience research, augmenting their footprint in the commercial market and aspire to add more divisions to the Abbey brand.
