What is MDG’s History?
MDG was opened by Michael D. Green back in 2001, with ownership passing to his son, Don Green and his nephew, Steve Walbolt in 2016 to keep the business family owned and operated. MDG Flooring America is more than just a flooring specialty store. We are experts trained in flooring sales and design and will help you find the perfect floor for the way you live.
Why is MDG coming to Akron?
Our MDG family are actually not new to the area. We have owned and operated Northport for the last few years and are simply changing our name! We are still the same team, owners, products and services that you know and love here in Akron.
Why is the name changing?
After more than 50 years of proudly serving our community as Northport Flooring America, we’re updating our name to MDG Flooring America to reflect our continued growth and long-term vision. While the name is new, our commitment to exceptional service and quality remains exactly the same.
What does MDG stand for?
MDG reflects our leadership team and evolving brand direction, while still honoring the decades of trust we’ve built as Northport Flooring America. It’s a fresh name rooted in the same values.
Are you under new ownership?
No. Our ownership, management, and team remain unchanged. You’ll continue to work with the same friendly, knowledgeable professionals you’ve come to know and trust.
Are you still part of Flooring America?
Yes! We are still proud members of the Flooring America cooperative, one of the most respected flooring retail groups in the country. Our connection to Flooring America gives us access to the best brands, competitive pricing, and strong warranties—and none of that is changing.
What is Flooring America?
Flooring America is a national cooperative of locally owned and operated flooring stores. As part of this network, we can offer you the best of both worlds: the personalized service of a local business, backed by the buying power and support of a national brand.
Does this name change affect my flooring project or warranty?
Not at all. All warranties, quotes, and ongoing or past projects remain fully in place. Everything is business as usual—just under a new name.
Is your location changing?
No. We’re still in the same location and hours of operation. The only thing changing is our name and logo.
When will the change take effect?
We’ll officially become MDG Flooring America on July 1. You’ll see our new name on the website, social media, store signage, and all future communication starting then.
Who can I contact if I have questions?
Our team is here to help—just call, visit, or message us anytime. We’re happy to answer any questions about the transition.
