Dallas Market Center announced its Total Home & Gift Market is one of the best attended January show in multiple years, with several days remaining for the market.

The attendance increase was notable due to a wider geographic reach, attracting retailers and interior designers from across the U.S. and internationally, with preliminary numbers showing the strongest growth from the western U.S.

“We are thrilled with such a strong January show,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “Buyers have arrived in force with enthusiasm and focus to discover new products and place orders. We are expecting to extend the momentum through the end of market, and this is a strong indicator for our shows later in the month.”

Tens of thousands of buyers from across the country are attending the seven-day trade event that welcomes single and multi-location retail, interior designers, buying groups and major stores. Total Home & Gift Market includes hundreds of permanent showrooms in three buildings and hundreds of temporary exhibitors in four locations.

Total Home & Gift Market concludes on Tuesday, Jan. 13. For more information, including hours and events, visit the Dallas Market Center website.

Later in January, Dallas Market Center will welcome retailers from coast to coast for Dallas Fashion Week, featuring the Apparel & Accessories Market, KidsWorld, WESA’s International Western/English Apparel & Equipment Market, the AETA International Trade Show, and the Dallas Men’s Show.

Buyers planning to attend summer markets, including the Total Home & Gift Market, are encouraged to book hotel accommodations early through Dallas Market Center’s block of preferred hotel partners. With FIFA World Cup matches taking place nearby in Arlington, Texas, early booking will help secure accommodations.
