Woman Pays Full Price For Carpet During One-Day-Only Non-Sale

ELKHART, IN—In the first-ever non-special-sale offer in Carpetworld history, Elkhart shopper Bernadette Blake purchased 120 square feet of royal-blue Dupont Stainmaster II plush carpeting at the regular price of $7.99 a square yard Monday. “I was driving past my local Carpetworld and noticed that, for some strange reason, there were no sale signs in the window,” said Blake, who arrived at the store 10 hours after the Sizzling Spring Sellout Sale ended and 14 hours before the Everything’s 30 Percent Off Carpet Clearance Blowout Bonanza was scheduled to begin. “That made me extremely curious, so I went in to check it out.” Encouraged by the success of the Blake transaction, Carpetworld is planning a week-long “Regular Daze” non-sale event, featuring added costs for carpet pad and installation, as well as nothing of interest for the kids.
