Creative Co-Op Expanding Dallas Showroom;
Adding Creative Commons Lounge

DALLAS – September 19, 2019 – Creative Co-Op is expanding its space and product selection in Dallas, including a 4000 square foot addition for seasonal products, expanded home décor selection, and a “Creative Commons” buyers lounge all debuting at the Total Home & Gift Market, January 8-14, 2020.

Creative Co-Op will expand into Trade Mart 2454 as an extension of their current space and feature seasonal products. Collections include ornaments and botanicals along with a wide range of accents and home décor. The expansion will also create space in the existing Creative Co-Op showroom for showcasing the entire home décor line as well as the European brand Bloomingville in more spacious displays. The ILLUME brands, including Magnolia Home Fragrance collection, will be featured in sister showroom KBD Sales across the atrium in Trade Mart 2999.

Bridging the two spaces will be a new Creative Commons, a centrally located buyers lounge and hospitality space adjacent to the second floor escalators. Buyers are invited to enjoy the comfortable space merchandised with furniture and décor from Creative Co-Op and to experience exclusive hospitality while attending the show.

“Creative Co-Op and our family of brands is excited for our new seasonal showroom expansion,” says Garry Schermann, senior vice president of sales. “Dallas Market Center is important to our business because of its loyal customer base especially from the Central U.S. If we want to see these customers, we need to reach them in Dallas. Retailers love the convenience, product variety and lower travel costs to visit Dallas. Our expansion is being driven by the ongoing success we’ve seen in Dallas, the increase of our seasonal product introductions, and new retailer demand for a large variety of fresh product that is both unique and well-priced. We look forward to a very successful 2020!”

Creative Co-Op joins dozens of gift and home companies deepening their commitment to Dallas Market Center and its unmatched year-round business. In addition to Total Home & Gift Markets attended by tens of thousands of retail decision makers, the marketplace welcomes buyers to five Apparel & Accessories Markets each year, coordinates multiple private buying events by major stores, and hosts thousands of members of the interior design trade every month.

“Creative Co-Op is a rare company with the Midas touch. No other exhibitor delivers more hot products, more best-sellers, and is more in demand in Dallas,” says Cindy Morris, President and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “We are thrilled with their expansion and the tremendous value they continue to create for Dallas customers. Working together, we are looking forward to a very successful new year.”
