This is Candy Davis Schwarz - Davis Carpet & Flooring | VOID
About this episode
The episode features an interview with Candy Davis Schwarz discussing the history and journey of Davis Carpet & Flooring.
On this episode I chatted with Candy from Davis Carpet and Flooring in Yukon right off Route 66. Davis Carpet first opened its doors in November 1969, in Enid, Oklahoma. Prior to this, owner Ray Davis was employed as a fireman and worked part-time at a carpet store. At only 23 years old and a new dad to a four month old baby girl, Ray begrudgingly accepted a $1,000 loan from his parents, Lee and Ellen Davis of Bethany. Ray’s parents were supportive yet nervous as Ray embarked on his new journey into the flooring world. https://daviscarpetok.com/ www.voidok.org Huge thank you to our sponsors.
