The first generation with the second generation. This is in 1962 with Jack, Harry, and George Apelian Sr.
After escaping to America from Armenia during the Armenian Genocide, Harry Apelian
wanted to create a future for his family. In 1946, Harry bought a lot at 2900 Central Street in
Evanston, Illinois. After several months, he built his own rug cleaning business out of a one car
garage! Once his two sons, Jack and George returned from World War II, they joined the family
business and quickly learned they were outgrowing their space and knew they could add to their
objective. In 1965, Apelian Rug Co. expanded to create a showroom in the front to sell rugs
with the back dedicated to cleaning. Soon after, George Sr.’s two sons, George Jr. and Garry
joined the family business as third generation. For the past 75+ years, Apelian Rug has brought
their heart and soul into every home they have stepped into. With a showroom full of
Handmade and Machine-Made Oriental Rugs from India and Pakistan along with wood and
vinyl tiling and a full range of carpet by Masland, Couristan, Karastan and Dream Weavers and
thousands of remnants, Apelian Rug will find you exactly what you want and need. Our team
has years of experience and dedication providing you with the utmost level of satisfaction every
time you call us!
