What
started as
a one-man
& wife
business
over 40
years ago
in their
home,
selling
linoleum
and ceramic
tile from
their
living
room
Bill Mock
Fashion
Floors
&
Interiors,
Inc. has
grown into
a family
business.
In
1966 they
moved the
business to
the Waggoner
building at
304 West
Grand in
Ponca City
and expanded
to include
carpet in
that year.
New home
construction
was a growing
business that
continued to
grow.
Opportunity
came about to
lease Sanders
Drug Store at
300 West
Grand in 1970
and was
purchased in
1972 to
expand and to
include a
drapery
department.
Many
changes have
been seen
over the 40
years in
business and
has met many
obstacles. In
1977 a water
line broke,
flooding the
store. A
tornado broke
out the
windows in
1992. The
most
devastating
event
occurred
when a fire
broke out
on the
block
and
destroyed
Mock's and
three other
businesses
in 1994.
The
decision to
build a
"new"
Mock
Fashion
Floors was
quickly
made and
the new
store was
re-established
in June of
1995.
In
1998, Bill
and
Charlene
Mock
retired
from the
carpet
business
and left it
to their
two
daughters.
Janelle
Moreland
and Joyce
Edwards
have
managed and
operated
Mock
Fashion
Floors and
Interiors
for over 16
years so
they are no
strangers
to the
floor
covering
business.
