About Our Store in Excelsior, MN 

Excelsior Paint & Design Carpet One is proud to be your local floor, home, and decor store. Owned and operated by your friends and neighbors for 8 decades and counting, some things might change, but one remains the same: our commitment to community, customers, and excellence. 

Serving the Excelsior area since the 1940s, our business was founded when Mr. Stans had a dream to open his store on Water Street in downtown Excelsior selling paint, stain, and wallpaper. He called his establishment "The Color Center" and began serving the first three generations of clients.

The Color Center moved down the block to acquire more space to offer tile, carpet, and dustless sanding. In 2006 needing even more space to showcase its ever-increasing offerings, the store moved to its current location, 701 Highway 7.

In August 2010, Carolyn Manhatton became the current owner, adopting our current name: Excelsior Paint & Design. When asked about the amount of moving in the company's history Carolyn says: "The only place we are moving is up, meaning that we are focusing on our showrooms upstairs. We are lucky to have that space...there is a constant rotation of products upstairs and downstairs." Carolyn and staff members maintain quality and personal service that sets Excelsior Paint & Design apart. You can learn more about who we are and our work through our testimonials and reviews.
