A general store on Center Street in Provo. Seven related family businesses. And a flooring store in Lehi and Provo that's never stopped being run by a Taylor.
George Taylor opened a general store on Center Street in Provo called Taylor Brothers. They sold furniture, flooring, and other household items. After George's retirement, his son, Thomas Nichols Taylor — nicknamed "TNT" — ran Taylor Brothers for many years. At one time, Taylor Brothers had locations in Provo, Spanish Fork, and Eureka.
The manager of the Spanish Fork location, Albert Dixon, eventually left the business to form Dixon Taylor Russell with one of the other Taylor brothers. Around this time, TNT's son Marion purchased the Spanish Fork location and renamed it MR Taylor Co., which he ran for many years.
When Marion passed away in 1956, his son David Taylor left the United States Air Force to come home and support his mother by running the shop — the same store that exists today.
This wasn't just the passing on of a business. It was the creation of a family legacy that still guides Taylor Carpets today.
After graduating from Brigham Young University in 1986, Matt Taylor joined the family business full-time. In the early 2000s, Matt completed his purchase of the business, and has been running it ever since with his wife, Teri Taylor.
The same principle that's guided the business since 1866 still guides it today: buy direct, buy smart, and pass the savings on to the customer instead of a showroom markup.
