History

Established in 1910.

Keteon Ares Menendian immigrated to the USA in 1898. He came to New York City and worked several jobs. One of those jobs was at a restaurant, where he became friends with an Oriental rug dealer who eventually offered him a job. In the 1900 – 1908 years, he and another gentleman would take extended trips up into New York State, across Pennsylvania, down thru Ohio and back to New York City.

In 1909, K.A. was offered a permanent space in the F. G. & A. Howald Furniture Co. which had a sterling reputation. Fortunately, he made the right decision and moved his young wife and made Columbus his home. Through hard work and honesty, he was able to establish and build the business.

K.A. Menendian remains one of the oldest & most respected Oriental rug stores in the USA and is proud to have just celebrated its 100^th anniversary in 2010. It is also one of the few Oriental rug stores in the country to offer the full services of sales, rug washing and repair all in one location.
