What would you expect to be sold in a drapery warehouse- upholstery fabric only or a full range of sewing supplies?

the one I use has everything including patterns for drapes and soft furnishings, trims from braids, fringes, beads, threads of all descriptions, pins, seam rippers, scissors, tape, weights (to hold the hems down), fabric wise they incorporate all weights including nets and sheers as well as cottons and silks for lining fabrics, black out fabric the amount of bits and pieces is quite incredible. There are over 175 kinds of tie backs in the store I use and over 3000 fabrics and god knows how many notions.

I was at a store like this in Edmonton, Alberta and it sold a vast inventory of everything you would ever need for home decor... Their focus was drapes but they sold alot more.
