About Rug Rats - Woman-Owned. Family-Run. Made in the USA. Since 1987.

Rug Rats is a woman-owned, family-run custom logo rug and mat company with deep Virginia roots. Rug Rats is a family business founded in 1987 in Farmville, Virginia, beside Green Front Furniture, and is now based in Virginia Beach serving Hampton Roads and shipping nationwide. For 28 years we operated as a Virginia showroom alongside the Green Front Furniture warehouse complex — one of the East Coast’s most recognized furniture retailers — before going fully online in 2015. Today we supply custom logo mats and branded entrance rugs to businesses, schools, churches, military installations, and government facilities across all 50 states. Every product we sell is made entirely in the United States. There is no minimum order quantity, every order includes a free digital proof within 24 hours, and orders ship in approximately 10 business days.

About Sandy Pharr

Sandy Pharr founded Rug Rats in 1987 with a clear mission: providing organizations nationwide with high-quality custom floor coverings they could rely on. She holds a degree in Clothing and Textiles from Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia — the same town where she launched Rug Rats next door to Green Front Furniture just a few years later. She has spent nearly four decades building Rug Rats into one of the most established woman-owned custom logo mat companies in the United States.

When you work with Rug Rats, you work directly with Sandy. Every inquiry receives a personal response, every proof is reviewed before any order goes into production, and every customer receives the same level of attention regardless of order size.

“Our commitment has always been simple — deliver a product that performs, stand behind it completely, and treat every customer like they matter. Because they do.” — Sandy Pharr, Owner
