As summer winds down and students prepare to head back to college, one local business is stepping up to make their transition a little more comfortable. Carpets To Go, located in Brick, NJ, is gearing up for its fourth annual College Dorm Area Rug Giveaway on Friday, August 16, 2024, at 10 AM. With a line expected to start as early as 8 AM, this event promises to be a heartwarming celebration of community spirit and support for students and teachers alike.

A Generous Gesture

Over the past 8-12 weeks, the dedicated team at Carpets To Go has been hard at work crafting 200 beautiful area rugs to give away for free. These rugs come in four sizes: Bound 5x7s, 4x6s, 3x5s, and 3’ Rounds, ensuring that every student can find the perfect fit for their dorm room.

But there’s a catch: to receive a rug, college students must be present and proudly wear their college shirt, while teachers need to don their school’s apparel or show their Teacher ID. This simple requirement not only fosters school spirit but also creates a vibrant atmosphere filled with camaraderie and excitement.

More Than Just Rugs

Glenn Scher, the founder and CEO of Carpets To Go, emphasizes the importance of community involvement. “We want your young adults to have more comfort while they are away at college,” he shares. “We are a company that gives back to the community because it just matters.” This philosophy is at the heart of the College Dorm Area Rug Giveaway, which aims to provide students with a touch of home as they embark on their educational journeys.

The event will feature a DJ, free hot dogs, and bottled water for attendees, making it not just a giveaway but a community gathering. It’s a chance for students, teachers, and families to come together, celebrate education, and enjoy a day filled with fun and connection.

A Legacy of Excellence

Glenn Scher’s journey in the flooring industry began on January 1, 2010, with a vision to create a carpet store that prioritized customer service, a no-pressure environment, and in-stock inventory. Fast forward 14 years, and Carpets To Go has become New Jersey’s largest in-stock carpet store, renowned for its exceptional customer service and stellar Google reviews.

As a second-generation carpet store owner, Glenn has followed in his parents’ footsteps, proving that ambition and dedication can lead to success, even in challenging times. Despite the skepticism he faced when opening his business after the 2008 recession, Glenn’s commitment to quality and community has solidified Carpets To Go’s reputation as a beloved local establishment.

Join the Celebration

If you’re in the Brick area, mark your calendars for August 16th! Join Glenn and the Carpets To Go team for a day of generosity, community spirit, and celebration. Whether you’re a college student looking to spruce up your dorm or a teacher wanting to support your students, this event is not to be missed.

Carpets To Go is located at 24 Brick Blvd., Brick, NJ. Come out, enjoy some free food, and leave with a beautiful rug that will add comfort and style to your college experience. Let’s make this back-to-school season a memorable one, together!
