About Rug Rats
Our Story
Rug Rats was founded by Sandy Henderson with a simple mission: to provide high-quality custom logo rugs with exceptional personal service. As a Virginia-based business, we understand the importance of making a lasting impression, whether you’re welcoming clients into your office, students into your school, or visitors into your facility.
What began as a small local operation has grown into a trusted provider of custom logo rugs for organizations across Virginia and throughout the United States. Throughout our growth, we’ve maintained our commitment to personal service—something that sets us apart in an increasingly automated world.
The Kitchen Table Story
What started out as a hobby in Farmville, Virginia in the late 80s is now a model of success in the custom rugs space, and its services now span the whole country. Our business outlook is strictly American, and what motivates us is finding the perfect fit for those on the hunt for custom logos for schools, businesses, homes and offices. Our story is one of resilience in the face of adversary, the ideal American story if ever there was one. It is a story in which a young Longwood University graduate with a sharp eye for spectacular designs takes on the textile industry and builds a sprawling custom rugs business from scratch
