Frank and Betty Lou Dorfner opened Remnant City in 1970, bringing the very first remnant carpet store to Pittsburgh. Frank was an innovative businessman. To help advertise Remnant City Frank created the Rug Bug, our beloved carpeted Volkswagen beetle.
Though it has had many makeovers through the years, it continues to be a landmark on Route 51. Remnant City continues to be passed down through the generations. It is currently operated by second-generation Lisa, and third-generation Leanna. For over 40 years Remnant City has established itself as Pittsburgh’s carpet specialty store. It has grown from just single room sizes to carrying a huge selection of full-size carpet remnants, area rugs, and waterproof flooring all with whole house installation.
