MMPI adds amenities

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 26, 2006

High Point — Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., which owns several market buildings here, plans to add more amenities for the upcoming International Home Furnishings Market slated for April 27–May 3.

The idea is to make the market even more convenient and comfortable for retailers to conduct business with manufacturers, MMPI said.

"We are proud to provide unparalleled service and an outstanding experience for both buyers and exhibitors," said Tom Mitchell, senior vice president and general manager of MMPI's High Point operations.

"This year, we've doubled free parking to nearly 500 spaces in one of our lots, added more exciting entertainment events, enhanced our complimentary transportation services and improved upon the standard amenities," he said.

Buyers can stay in touch with colleagues, business associates and those back home in the full-service Buyers' Lounge, located on the first floor of Furniture Plaza. The lounge will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily to provide buyers with computers, printers, Internet access, plenty of seating and a conference room for private meetings.

The lounge also offers a complimentary breakfast and lunch, as well as beverages and refreshments throughout the day.

MMPI also will offer remote wireless access for laptop computers in Plaza Suites and the Suites at Market Square.

For more information, call (800) 678-MART (6278) or visit www.merchandisemart.com/highpoint.
