Eagan, Minn.-based Herregan Distributors recently held self-inspection clinics for Quick-Step retailers. Dealers who participate in Quick-Step's Presidential program were invited to attend one of two clinics held in Green Bay and Steven's Point, Wis. Retailers attending received self-inspection certification, enabling them to take a more active role in investigating claims and deciding warranty issues.

At the self-inspection clinics, 33 staffers from 16 retail stores received certification. The stores were: H.J. Martin & Son; Home Interiors; McCabe's Flooring; Flooring by Roberts; Taylor Made Floors; Floor Quest; two branches of Carpets Plus/Color Tile of Madison and additional Carpets Plus/Color Tile stores in Plover, Wausau and Janesville; Flooring Center; Carpet City stores in Rhinelander and Wausau; Duralum Carpets and Coyle Carpet One.

Retailers who order Quick-Step's Signature laminate flooring display are eligible to participate in the Presidential program. Benefits of the program include exclusive rebate opportunities, aggressive pricing and national co-op support, according to Quick-Step.
