In 1948, Atlas Floors San Antonio was founded by World War II veteran William E. Mahone, fulfilling a war-time dream of owning his own business. Bill and his wife Laura opened a new flooring business with the help of a Reconstruction Finance Corporation loan of $1600 in a rented building in Downtown San Antonio, Texas.
As their efforts proved successful, the Mahones borrowed a sum of $1,145.80 in order to relocate in a combination business and home, on Hildebrand Avenue. At that address a second generation literally grew up in the business, living in private quarters behind the flooring showroom. Current President, Bill Mahone Jr., his mother (Laura), and Jessica and Annie, his sisters, were always involved in the family endeavor. Upon the untimely death of the senior Mahone in 1972, Laura and the second generation continued hands on operation of Atlas Floors.
In 1984, Bill Mahone Jr. took out loans from Hermann Sons in order to build a larger showroom and warehouse in their San Antonio location. The new accommodation tremendously increased the original operations size. As San Antonio steadily grew through the years, so did Atlas Floors. Keeping step with a city rapidly expanding toward the North, in the year 2000 Atlas Floors opened a second showroom along Highway 281 at San Pedro and Donella. Shortly thereafter, Atlas Floors joined the largest cooperative in the flooring industry, Carpet One. This positive relationship led to the opening of their newest and largest flooring store in August of 2008 in Northwest San Antonio at Loop 1604 and Braun.
Today, Atlas Floors Carpet One in San Antonio Texas continues as a family owned business under the stewardship of the now three generations of Mahones: Jessica Mahone-McCarthy, Vice President; Laura Mahone-DuBose, Treasurer; Bill Mahone Jr., President; and Billy Mahone III, Marketing Director.
