Salon at Suites at Market Square is expanding for October High Point Furniture Market.
For the last few markets we have had a waiting list of companies that fit the profile for Salon, but we did not have enough space to accommodate all of them said Julie Messner, vice president of leasing for International Market Centers(http://www.imcenters.com) said of the juried showcase of fashion-forward furnishings across a wide range of styles and categories. Clearly the demand was greater than our supply, so we have decided to expand Salon to feature more companies.
The expansion of Salon will add an additional 8,000 square feet one floor above the current Salon, for a total of 33,000 square feet of exhibit space. The new exhibitors in this area will join a list of 44 companies already showing in Salon. Among the products featured in Salon are furniture, lighting, rugs, wall art, home textiles and decorative accessories.
The new area of Salon is most easily accessed by the escalator in the center of Salon, so buyers can easily shop both the Ground and Mezzanine Floors in the Suites at Market Square and be sure to see all of the new products and companies featured.
We had been approached by many companies that wanted to show in High Point but felt Salon was the best fit for them, and with this expansion we will have the ability to add more of these unique, higher-end companies for buyers to see when they arrive at the October Market, Messner said.
Salon also is home to the Market Square Café, serving Starbucks--the only place in downtown High Point offering a full Starbucks hot drink menu, as well as a variety of breakfast and lunch items.
