The history of Kelowna Carpet One

Nearly 50 years ago, Bill Healy and his uncle Alan Waters started a small carpet business on Kensington Road in Calgary, Alberta.

Their philosophy was simple: serve customers as you would like to be served yourself. With an unwavering commitment to high-quality products, unprecedented customer service, and installation excellence, Kensington quickly earned a reputation as a leader in Calgary’s floor covering market. That commitment continues today in the family’s second location in British Columbia’s beautiful Okanagan Valley, which opened in November 2008.

As General Manager, Brian Eager is dedicated to providing Kelowna with the very same selection of quality products and customer service. Kelowna Carpet One’s values have not changed and we take great pleasure in serving each and every customer.
