Join the conversation as your host, Natalie Mariani Kling visits with Donald and Justin Ratajczak, a father and son who are just two of many family members who have been a part of the family owned S&G Carpet and more. Donald shares how several members of the Ratajczak family started working at the carpet company in San Jose in the 1970’s and how their family bought out the original owners and turned it into a family owned institution in Sacramento and the Bay Area we all know today. Justin reminisces about playing in the vast carpet warehouse as a kid, friends singing the popular jingle to him at school and deciding to leave a promising career in San Francisco as an actuarial analyst, to come back home and work his way up to C.F.O. of the family business. The discussion continues as they talk about the struggles and benefits of working with family, hiring and firing family members and surviving the great recession, as well as, the bright future of S&G moving forward.
