The Chamber Surprise Patrol Team shows up on the 1st day of the month at two randomly selected member businesses (one in St. Robert and one in Waynesville). The sign will be proudly displayed throughout the month at their business. This is a way for the Chamber to highlight our members and surprise them with a visit. We also include a business from our surrounding area to showcase virtually.
The Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce is happy to feature a St. Robert business, a Waynesville Business, and a business from our surrounding area as the Chamber members for the Business Showcase for the month of January.

Rapid Revival Hardwood was founded in March 2020 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, originally under the name Near Me Flooring. From the start, the goal has been straightforward: do real hardwood work the right way, with clean prep, quality craftsmanship, and finishes that hold up in everyday life. We specialize in restoring, repairing, and installing hardwood floors, along with stair work and custom stain matching. That includes full sand and refinish projects, buff and coat maintenance, board replacements and repairs for squeaks, pet damage, water spots, and transitions, plus new hardwood installation when homeowners want a fresh start.
In early 2024, we made the decision to rebrand as Rapid Revival Hardwood. I’m fortunate to have a good marketing partner and their efforts strengthened our online presence so we could show up professionally. At the end of 2024, my family and I took a vacation to St. Robert’s, and it genuinely felt like home. While we were still on that trip, we found a rental and decided that we found our new home. (I make it sound simpler than is was but a little back and forth for a few months).
Being a Chamber member matters because we’re here for the long haul. It helps us stay connected to the community, build relationships with other local businesses, and earn trust the right way, by being involved and doing solid work people can count on.
