History
Started in 1971 by Richard Minshall after returning from Viet Nam, Uptight Carpet was the lone flooring store for the soon to expand west valley. Located downtown in Avondale, AZ the business grew and eventually Richard needed a larger location. With the help of some of his customers, a new building was built just south of McDowell on Dysart Road in 1982. Soon the I-10 freeway was built and the west valley expansion began. In 2002, Richard wanted to spend a little less time in the business so he handed the reigns over to his son, Matt. He focused on updating the showroom while maintaining the attention to customer service and affordable prices which was the mission statement of the company. Today Uptight Carpet is the only building left from that era on Dysart and McDowell Rd. As the grocery stores, home improvement stores, and restaurants moved in, Uptight secured its foothold in the community's hearts and homes.
