“Rite Rug began its operations on the corner of Cherry and High Streets in downtown Columbus with a shop selling linoleum pieces, tiles and used rugs purchased by my father, Duke, and my uncle, Stanley Goldberg,” recalls Rite Rug owner Michael Goldberg. In that era, the 1930’s, the majority of homes had hardwood floors, with a rug used here and there. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that homeowners began to cover entire rooms with carpet. Today wall-to-wall carpet is just one option. With the renewed interest in hardwoods and laminates, ceramics and stones, and the variety of rug styles, the flooring alternatives are endless.

From those humble beginnings, Rite Rug has grown through the years, mirroring the growth of Columbus itself. As Columbus became the largest city in Ohio, Rite Rug expanded to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population. The company now holds the largest market share of flooring business in the region, and in doing so, has become the eighth largest flooring retailer in the United States.

Since its inception in 1934, the Rite Rug Co. has been a family-run enterprise. Brothers Duke and Stanley Goldberg, who were among 10 children, founded the company in Columbus, Ohio, after learning the business at their brother’s flooring store Youngstown, Ohio.

When Duke and Stanley left Rite Rug for four years to fight in World War II, their sister, Janet Goldberg, ran the business. The Goldberg brothers returned from the war to continue growing the business, which today, under the direction of CEO Michael Goldberg, is in its third generation.

Speaking about Rite Rug’s growth as a business, Michael once said, “Rite Rug has evolved from a family-owned, family-run business to a family-owned, professionally run business.”

To comprehend a private equity firm, it is extremely important to know that there are three fundamental factors. The term “equity” means Ownership interest in a corporation in the form of common stock or preferred stock. It also refers to total assets minus total liabilities, in which case it is also referred to as shareholder’s equity or net worth or book value. private equity is an asset class consisting of equity securities in operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange. A private equity firm is the controlling partner in a collection of partnerships that have come together to pool their capital and invest in an investment opportunity.

Investments in private equity most often involve either an investment of capital into an operating company or the acquisition of an operating company. Capital for private equity is raised primarily from institutional investors. There is a wide array of types and styles of private equity and the term private equity has different connotations in different countries.

While private equity firms focus on an assortment of investment strategies, they often purchase undervalued or under-appreciated companies, improve them, and then sell them for a profit. After buying a company, a private equity firm will remove it from the stock market. By making the company private, the private equity firm is only accountable to its smaller group of investors.

Jerry LeBlanc was an Investment advisor for nine years and sold his company, Sentinel Investments, to Blake Carpenter so that he could pursue starting a REIT.

A Real Estate Investment Trust or REIT is a tax designation for a corporation investing in real estate that reduces or eliminates corporate income taxes. In return, REITs are required to distribute 90% of their income, which may be taxable, into the hands of the investors. The REIT structure was designed to provide a similar structure for investment in real estate as mutual funds provide for investment in stocks.

Like other corporations, REITs can be publicly or privately held. Public REITs may be listed on public stock exchanges like shares of common stock in other firms.

REITs can be classified as equity, mortgage or hybrid.

The key statistics to look at in a REIT are its net asset value (NAV), adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) and cash available for distribution (CAD). REITs face challenges from both a slowing economy and the global financial crisis, depressing share values by 40 to 70 percent in some cases.
