Originally established as Al Terrence Carpet, owner and founder Al Terrence opened his doors in Huntington Park with a modest 2,000 square foot showroom in 1945. As a former Vernon police officer, Mr. Terrence had developed many relationships, and his personality projected into the community in this new enterprise. As the years passed, Al Terrence emerged as a respected major supplier of floor covering in the Southern California market.

In 1980, the company changed names to Target Carpet. The name change helped the company to focus on the property management and multi-family housing industry. Still owned and managed by the Terrence family, Target Carpet is considered to be one of the leading suppliers of floor covering throughout Southern California, maintaining a reputation of dependable and reliable service, as well as value.
