High Point premarket adds 9 new sponsors
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 17, 2008
High Point — Once on the decline, High Point's premarket is rebounding with nine new sponsors for the next event, set for March 3–4.
Brian Casey, president and CEO of the High Point Market Authority, met with some key manufacturers and building owners last spring and began planning for a renewed premarket with financial support for hotel rooms for many retailers.
Last summer, 16 companies sponsored premarket Aug. 20–21. Fifteen are doing so again and are joined by nine new sponsors this time.
Returning manufacturers are: Bernhardt, Hammary, Hooker, Kincaid, Legacy Classic, Magnussen Home, Riverside, Stanley, Universal, Vaughan-Bassett, Wynwood, Pulaski and SLF, and American Drew and Lea Inds.
The nine additions are: Aspenhome, Broyhill, Casana, Palliser, Davis International, Hekman, IdeaItalia, Natuzzi and Rowe.
At the August premarket, a number of other exhibitors also opened their doors for retailers. For March, the only company to announce plans to be open so far is Whitewood Inds./John Thomas.
Others who plan to be open during premarket March 3-4 can send a notice to Jeff Linville, case goods writer, at jlinville@reedbusiness.com to be included in updates in Furniture/Today and on furnituretoday.com.
