Does anyone know where or what the nice "barn wood" style flooring is in the Safeway in the Corral Center? I have admired it since day 1, and would love to find it somewhere to install in my basement!

That stuff is luxury vinyl plank flooring. There was a place on 13 th street behind the Westman place that had stuff like that. Agreed. It does look nice!!

It will be commercial grade to withstand high foot traffic.

Try them-I'm sure Randy can find it for you

We will try Kellington Floors, knew it had to be commercial and super tough stuff or they wouldn't have in a place like that! We need some kind of tough stuff as we have dogs and laminate isnt going to stand up when they start racing around doing laps, which they ofter do…lol.  
Thanks agin!

Quality wise is sold at Turner Floors - it is called EZ Lay or EZ Grip. There are lots of vinyl planks sold in town, none compare to the quality of this stuff. Absolutely waterproof too.

It is indeed Vinyl plank. It is gravity held product in home use, meaning you do not glue it down except for around the perimeter. In commercial uses such as Safeway and Walmart it is fully glued though.  
 
Can be laid right on concrete - the only prep needed being any large cracks filled. The weight of this stuff is such that is hugs whatever you put it down on, so your concrete does not have to be 100% level.  
 
It is so easy to install yourself too - I did it myself with a utility knife.

Thanks for the info and the link, I had a look at it and it looks perfect …..do you mind telling me what the price was approx?

The clincher is that not all is created equally. The better the quality, the higher the price. And quality can be translated into depth of the product and the interlocking system. There are many products at the 4ml mark, that's the low end. The higher the mls the more rigid, durable and easy it is to install.  
Another consideration is the way it is installed. Glue-down is bad news. Especially for our climate. The glue eventually dries, lifts, curls.  
 
Do a lot of research. Ask questions. Try to find people who have installed and lived with it a while. Commercial grade would be your very best bet! And worth it in the long run!  
 
And there are two styles - wood-like look and tile look. It is all waterproof because it is plastic....
