History
Empire Carpet is the historical, commonly known name for Empire Today LLC. Empire was founded by entrepreneur Seymour Cohen in 1959 as Empire Plastic Covers, a private, family-owned business in Chicago from a small office space. Owner Seymour Cohen decided to expand its product line in response to growing customer request. In 1965, Empire Plastic Covers changed its name to Empire Home Services, adding carpet to their product line. Over the years, Empire's product line grew, as did the company's national presence. In November 2000, the company was sold and then in 2003, adopted its current name - Empire Today.
