World Market Center Las Vegas Annouces New & Expanded Showrooms

This September, World Market Center Las Vegas is announced the debut of fresh, new resources at Las Vegas Market including 17 new permanent tenants, 12 expanded showrooms and 300 new and returning temporary exhibitors to an already impressive roster of over 1,400 exhibitors and product lines.  Additionally, over 100 permanent tenants have renewed their leases including 26 relocations.

“We are pleased with our extraordinary growth in recent showroom expansions, renewals and new exhibitors – which is especially meaningful in this environment as manufacturers are expecting new business solutions, marketing partnerships and relentless value,” said Robert Maricich, President and Chief Executive Officer of World Market Center Las Vegas. “In this incredibly challenging economic environment, it is remarkable that literally hundreds of tenants have reinforced their commitment to the bright future and innovation that World Market Center brings to the furnishings industry.  Through expansions and renewals, these companies validate our value proposition and commitment to providing extraordinary opportunities to grow their businesses.”

Maricich added that there’s a very positive energy for the first September Market in Las Vegas that’s been building over the last couple of months and is evidenced with increasing registrations and more and more product introductions across all categories.

Exhibitors such as the newly merged Midwest-CBK are anticipating a strong showing this September. “We are really excited to present the new company as one face to the customer and Las Vegas Market will be our first opportunity to do that in one central location,” says Terry Stewart, vice president of Midwest-CBK.
