Does anyone know of any company that specializes in out dated or out
of manufacture floor tile? It never fails, one tile goes bad and the
whole floor has to be replaced because there are no longer replacement
tiles. There must be some companies that either store and sell older
tiles, or actually re-manufacture them. I did some looking on the web
and did not find anything.

If you can find a good local tile store (versus a big box store
that happens to sell a limited range of tiles) they will likely
help you find something that's a pretty decent match.

A small Ma and Pop operation with an emphasis on service is
what you need ;-)

They know where to look and have quick/easy access to all
of the wholesalers, distributors etc.
