Mattress and furniture warranty and mattress accessory vendor GBS Enterprises has a new High Point showroom in the International Home Furnishings Center.
GBS, which debuted at High Point Furniture Market in a temporary space last October, has moved to a 1,200-square-foot showroom in the IHFCs Main wing, Space 640.
Our multi-market commitment to High Point is a deliberate strategy to confirm just how effective this venue will be to the continued success of our premium products and services to our conventional retail channels as well as potential new channels of distribution for GBS, said Dave Powers, president. We certainly are aware that many East Coast retailers may not venture to Las Vegas and we wish to better service this sector of the U.S. market with this commitment.
At market, GBS Enterprises will unveil its new 5- and 10-year Adjustable Bed extended warranty program as well as a refined and upgraded specialty pillow offering. The company also will spotlight its flagship mattress protection products and furniture warranty protection programs.
Based in Sutton, Neb., where it operates a production and distribution facility, GBS Enterprises celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. GBS Enterprises markets its products under a number of brand names, including Protect All and Healthy Sleep.
Sleep products and services are a key profit center, and the addition of GBS Enterprises to the roster of IHFC exhibitors provides another convenient sourcing option for sleep shops, furniture stores and other buyers, said Julie Messner, vice president of leasing for International Market Centers.
