Furniture World Magazine

Oak Hollow Mall is announced a partnership with the High Point Chamber of Commerce, the International Home Furnishings Market Authority, and the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau to introduce a new shopping incentive for attendees of the 2006 International Home Furnishings Market. The “Market to Mall Discount Card” is good only at participating Oak Hollow Merchants, and will offer special deals during the spring and fall Furniture Markets. “We know how important it is to keep the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point,” said General Manager Vickee` Armstrong, CMD. “And as a good corporate neighbor, we are excited to be able to offer special shopping for our market guests. The Market to Mall Discount Card is just one more way we are partnering to serve the community better.” The discount card is being recognized by the High Point Chamber of Commerce as a new tool to use to make market attendees feel special. The Chamber is going to pass these out to market attendees at the Piedmont Triad International Airport as part of a welcome greeting to the Triad. “Ensuring that our Market friends feel that they are at home in our city, and the Triad is a top priority for our chamber,” said High Point Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Tom Dayvault, CCE. “We salute the leaders and merchants at Oak Hollow Mall for initiating this dynamic program.” The Market to Mall Discount Cards will also be available at the Visitors Center Lobby of the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau, at the Furniture Market through the Market Authority, as well as at participating hotels and restaurants. The card will offer up to 50% off at participating stores, as well as other great deals. “This is a wonderful gesture by the merchants of Oak Hollow Mall,” said Judy Mendenhall, President of the International Home Furnishings Market Authority. “The Mall’s management has taken the lead in extending hospitality to our Market visitors through this effort, and we are deeply grateful for this support.” Oak Hollow Mall is extending shopping hours during the market for more convenient shopping. Monday through Wednesday, the mall will be open from 10 am -9 pm, Thursday through Saturday from 10 am-10 pm and Sunday from 1-6 pm. Shoppers who come during extended mall hours between 9 pm and 10 pm Thursday through Saturday will also be able to register to win a shopping spree at Oak Hollow Mall.
