As summer winds down and students prepare to head back to college, one local business is gearing up for a heartwarming tradition that has become a staple in the community. Carpets To Go, located at 24 Brick Blvd., Brick, NJ, is set to host its fourth annual College Dorm Area Rug Giveaway on Friday, August 16, 2024, at 10 AM. With a line expected to start forming as early as 8 AM, this event promises to be a delightful morning filled with community spirit and generosity.
A Generous Gift for Students and Teachers
For 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 to college students and teachers. This year, attendees can choose from four different rug sizes: Bound 5x7s, 4x6s, 3x5s, and 3’ Rounds.
But there’s a catch! To qualify for a free rug, college students must be present and proudly wear their college shirts, while teachers are required to don their school’s apparel or display their Teacher ID. This simple rule not only adds a fun twist to the event but also fosters a sense of pride and community among participants.
More Than Just Rugs: A Celebration of Community
Founder and CEO Glenn Scher emphasizes the importance of community involvement. “We want your young adults to have more comfort while they are away at college,” he shares. Glenn’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that giving back is essential. The College Dorm Area Rug Giveaway was born from his desire to provide students with a touch of home during their time away at school.
The event will be more than just a giveaway; it will be a celebration! Attendees can look forward to live music from a DJ, along with free hot dogs and bottled water. It’s a perfect opportunity for students, teachers, and families to come together, enjoy some food, and celebrate the start of a new academic year.
A Legacy of Quality and Service
Carpets To Go has come a long way since its opening on January 1, 2010. Glenn Scher, a second-generation carpet store owner, launched the business with a vision of providing the best customer service in a no-pressure environment. Fast forward 14 years, and Carpets To Go has become New Jersey’s largest in-stock carpet store, boasting an impressive reputation backed by glowing Google reviews.
Despite the challenges posed by the 2008 recession, Glenn’s determination and commitment to quality have led to the success of Carpets To Go. The store prides itself on offering quality inventory, expert installation, and outstanding customer service—all while maintaining a strong connection to the community.
