Tri-State Wholesale Flooring

What Tri-State Wholesale Flooring does

Tri-State Wholesale Flooring is a wholesale distributor of flooring products, supplies, materials, and tools, serving flooring contractors and flooring professionals across seven states in the U.S. Midwest and surrounding regions. Founded in 1964 as a local vinyl distributor and reorganized in 1994 into a multi-category premier flooring provider, the company is now operated as a sub-brand within All Surfaces, a privately held house-of-brands flooring distribution platform headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Through its integration into All Surfaces, Tri-State accesses a distribution network of 45+ regional branches spanning 24 states, more than 60,000 SKUs sourced from over 150 premier manufacturers (including Kahrs, Karndean, MAPEI, Schluter Systems, Congoleum, Johnson Hardwood, and Somerset), physical showrooms and pro shops staffed by local flooring experts, job-site delivery, and contractor training programs. The digital procurement layer is the ASAP (All Surfaces All Products) online ordering platform, which enables consolidated ordering across the multi-brand portfolio.

The business model is B2B wholesale distribution with quote-based pricing rather than publicly disclosed list pricing. Revenue is generated by selling flooring products, installation materials, and tools to flooring contractors and professionals for both residential and commercial projects. Tri-State's 40+ person team operates within the broader All Surfaces platform, where it functions as one of six regional sub-brands (alongside Abraham Linc, All Tile CCS, Blakely Products Co, Cartwright Distributing, and Walcro) that retain their regional identities while sharing centralized logistics, technology, and supplier relationships. No external funding, M&A activity, or public-company disclosures are available for Tri-State specifically.
