The old store had a department for room sized remnants - presumably from

I can remember going around a local carpet warehouse and seeing a high
quality carpet on sale at a ridiculously low price. It was a whole roll
of a remnant left over from carpeting a night club/disco. Unfortunately
rather garish colour with their logo embedded in the pattern at around 3
foot intervals

Yes - for a largish order it's surprisingly cheap to have your own design.

Remember the complaints about the BBC club having carpets made with their
logo. By the usual suspects in the press. Who weren't interested that the
club itself paid, not the BBC.
