In celebration of our 40th anniversary this year, Arizona Tile is hosting events for employees and customers alike at each of our locations around the country.
While all of our locations are celebrating the big 4-0, our largest event was held at the San Diego branch on June 15th, 2017.
Our San Diego store was the first-ever Arizona Tile location and the site of our first lease signing, so this branch holds a dear place in our hearts. With our 40th anniversary, we’re celebrating a huge milestone in the company’s progress and there was no better place to do so in a big way. While we originally planned to host the party at the store itself, the amazing response from the community outgrew the size of the store, and we moved the event to the Tiki Pavilion of the nearby Town and Country Resort.

We were thrilled to see a variety of employees, former team members, and customers at our San Diego event, many of whom have supported the company since its founding in 1977. Executive attendees included:
- Founders John and Eileen Huarte
- President Bob Traxler
- Executive VP & CFO Gary Skarsten
- VP of Sales Beth Gaughan
- VP of Finance Don Kesteloot
Jack Penny, a retired branch manager and sales rep for Arizona Tile, was also in attendance. He and his band, The Shenanigans, provided musical entertainment for the party.
Several of our other locations have hosted their 40th anniversary celebrations thus far, including:
- Austin, TX – May 23rd, 2017
