Allied Carpets is a small retail chain specialising in floor coverings in the United Kingdom. ==History==
It was formed by Harold Plotnek on market stalls Birmingham in the 1950s. In the late 1950s, a warehouse was opened in Birmingham. In 1974, a head office was opened in West Bromwich. In 1978, it was bought by the Asda Group. In 1980, curtains were introduced. In December 1983, it opened its first two out-of-town stores in Edinburgh and Chester. Beds were introduced in 1984. In 1985, the company was rebranded as just Allied. A Contracts Division and an Insurance Replacement Division were started in that year, and upholstery products were first sold. By 1989, the company had over 180 shops and the company changed its name to the Allied Maples Group Ltd. At the height of its powers, the chain had a large cultural currency in Great Britain. It was alluded to in Reeves and Mortimer's comedy song 'My Rose Has Left Me' and in One Foot in the Grave, in which the protagonist expressed his desire to have his ashes scattered in a branch of Allied Carpets to register his dissatisfaction with its customer service. A customer's attempt to enact a similar request was dismissed by the High Court in 1997.
