Happy Labor Day from the crew at Carl's!

Today, we celebrate the hardworking people who show up, get the job done, and keep things moving! We’re thankful for our hardworking crew, our vendors, our customers, and the community that has supported us through the years.

Throwing it back with a couple of photos of the owners putting in the work. A lot has changed over the years, but one thing hasn’t — the hard work that helped build Carl’s.

💬 Drop a memory or tell us what you remember about the early days of Carl’s!

🔨 PARDON OUR MESS! 🔨

After about 40 years in this building, we decided some of our original showroom pieces were ready for retirement. 😂

Our hours of operation will remain the same while construction is underway, so come on in!

Stay tuned as this project goes from endless conversations, countless emails, and staff input to something built to last for the next 50 years of business.

We can’t wait to show you the finished product! 👀
