By Sara QuamAfter almost 20 years in business, Alex Frick is ending his tenure as owner of Manitou Carpets.He sold the business to Mike and Dawn Van Den Top, Rock Rapids, effective June 1. Mike has worked as a flooring installer for 10 years and has done much of the work for Frick’s customers for three years.Mike said, "I just wanted to get into the retail side of things more and get off my knees. I want to retire someday and be in good shape."Frick isn’t retiring, though. "I am going to be more intentional about my ministry," Frick said.He said he will likely be active as an interim pastor for various churches in need and work in "visitation ministry."He and Sharon are moving to Richfield, which is close to three of their children and their grandchildren.Frick will work through the month of June before the Van Den Tops take over Manitou Carpets."I think people will really like Mike and Dawn," Frick said. He started the business in 1987 and his wife, Sharon, has been a part of it since 1993. The first location was in the former Manitou Hotel, which explains the unique name of the business.The Van Den Tops plan to hire one person to work about three days a week. Otherwise, Mike will be at the store. He said the business will stay much the same as it is. There will be some interior remodeling and an expanded product line, but the store already has a healthy selection, he said.The Van Den Tops said they plan to have an open house after they are settled into the store.
