Carpet, Texas (Jersey Village, Texas)

"The Super Floor Store" as of c. 2011
With the page on the fast food restaurants restored on Carbon-izer, they weren't the only victims of 290 near Beltway 8. Another building, visible from the freeway easily, was a large green-roofed warehouse known as "Carpet, Texas" when opened in February 2001 at 15815 Northwest Freeway (though the advertisement has its old location at 14900 Hempstead). It closed in 2010 but was soon picked up and reopened by Jack's Carpet with the same bunch of logos below it. Unfortunately, this only lasted a few years before it was closed in 2012 (along with most of the other Jack's Carpet stores, though the Webster store still operates). There's some more pictures on Google Maps Street View (if you can fiddle around to get to the pre-2014 configuration) and on Carbon-izer servers, an older shot when they still did 3D views. (This was adapted from this page on Carbon-izer.com).
