Las Vegas Market plans to open two new showroom floors for new categories including gourmet housewares and tabletop, and gift boutique home décor, textiles and accessories.
The floor plan of the new permanent presentation of gourmet housewares, casual tabletop and related gift merchandise will offer a range of showroom sizes and configurations and will showcase an anticipated 75 tenants. Gourmet-focused product categories will include cookware, bakeware, woodenware, serveware, glassware and bar accessories, hydration, kitchen tools and gadgets, small electrics, kitchen textiles, casual tabletop, home and health, publishing/cookbooks and specialty foods.
“This presentation will fill a void in the western markets, offering a dynamic cross-category resource for independent specialty gourmet buyers, including kitchen shops, hardware and grocery stores, and vineyards,” said Dorothy Belshaw, president of Gift & Home Décor, International Market Centers. “The gourmet housewares category complements and extends Las Vegas Market’s strong and growing home and lifestyle resources, offering cross-merchandising solutions for buyers and new channels of distribution for vendors.”
These enhancements represent phase three of Las Vegas Market’s strategic growth plan to position itself as the leading buying platform for furniture, home decor and gift in the western United States. All the changes will be unveiled at its Summer 2015 Market Aug. 2-6.
Las Vegas Market is produced by International Market Centers, L.P. (IMC), the world’s largest operator of premier showroom space for the furnishings, home décor and gift industries. International Market Centers owns and operates 11.5 million square feet of world-class exhibition space in High Point, N.C. and Las Vegas.
