Current Alerts For This Business
In 2023, the Better Business Bureau reviewed this business for its store location closing advertisement and also asked the business for its confirmation for membership with the American Society of Interior Designers as the business was using that organization's logo in ads. The business did not provide its membership information. The BBB contacted the American Society of Interior Designers, and they state the business has not been a member since 2019. Company advertised in 2023 in the Houston Chronicle that it was going out of business and closing the location on 5525 Westheimer. A field visit was conducted in June 2024 to location on 3601 West Alabama to discover that this location, according to signage, is by appointment only and referred to the location on 5525 Westheimer, the location that was initially going out of business in 2023 according to the ownership.
Houston Oriental Rug Bazaar's newest advertisement states "Wholesale Prices", which according to the Texas Business & Commerce Code is a deceptive practice.
Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 17.11
Sec. 17.11. DECEPTIVE WHOLESALE AND GOING-OUT-OF-BUSINESS ADVERTISING. (a) In Subsection (b) of this section, unless the context requires a different definition, "wholesaler" means a person who sells for the purpose of resale and not directly to a consuming purchaser.
(b) No person may wilfully misrepresent the nature of his business by using in selling or advertising the word manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or other word of similar meaning.
Additionally, the business is still open currently, despite the "store closing" advertising.
UPDATE - As of 8/28/2024, this company is once again advertising in the local newspaper that it is once again going out of business and closing after 43 years of business.
