ABC Carpet & Home is a New York home furnishings retailer whose origins date to 1897, when Sam Weinrib began selling carpet remnants from a pushcart on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The business grew over four generations into one of the best-known design stores in the United States, anchored by its flagship at 888 Broadway on Union Square.
The store is known for its theatrical, layered merchandising across multiple floors, selling handmade rugs and carpets, furniture, lighting, textiles, bedding, tabletop, jewelry, and apothecary goods. The assortment mixes contemporary designer furniture with antique and one-of-a-kind pieces, artisan goods sourced globally, and sustainably minded collections; the rug and carpet offering, from antique Persian rugs to modern designs, remains central to the business.
ABC Carpet & Home filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2021 during the pandemic and was acquired by investment firm 888 Capital Partners, which has continued operating the Broadway flagship and the abchome.com e-commerce business. The store has long functioned as a design destination for interior designers and private clients, with trade services alongside retail.
