About Fogelsonger's

Retailing: A Family Tradition!

It all started in the 1930's when Joseph Fogelsonger opened a hardware store on Flint Michigan's north end. The business changed over to Fogelsonger's Wallpaper and Paint Company in the early forties and was run by Joseph's two sons, Wallace and Lloyd Fogelsonger.

Wallace sold his interest in the wallpaper and paint company to his brother Lloyd and opened Fogelsonger's Floorcoverings in an adjoining building in 1945. The new business specialized in rolls of 12' wide linoleum, prepackaged room size linoleum, floor tile and roll countertop material. Carpet was added in the 1960's.

The original cash and carry business premise changed and Fogelsonger's began to offer installation to become a full service floor covering company. Harold Fogelsonger purchased Fogelsonger's Floorcovering in 1970 and relocated the business to 4918 Clio Rd. In 2006 we moved to our new location at 3489 N. Linden Rd.

The next generation of Fogelsonger's has now taken responsibility for Fogelsonger's Affordable floors. Joe Barbaretta, son of Ruth Fogelsonger, is keeping the tradition of value and quality. For over 3 decades Fogelsonger's has brought Flint a company that provides the personal service you will only find in a family owned & operated business.
