“Las Vegas Market plays a critical role in shaping how our industry connects, grows and adapts,” said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORE® CEO. “It’s not just about sourcing; it’s about creating the conditions for innovation, partnership and long-term success. At ANDMORE, we’re investing in brands, experiences and relationships that help our customers thrive and ensure this marketplace remains essential to the future of retail and design.”

Las Vegas Market’s positioning as a destination for West Coast sourcing continues to attract a broad audience eager for innovation. Throughout the campus, permanent showrooms and temporary exhibits brought together a unique mix of established brands and emerging resources.

“Las Vegas Market was extremely informative for our team, and we were all energized by the new merchandise we found! I spent time with gift shops from northern and southern California, all the way to Texas and Iowa,” said Lilly Stamets, principal of premier retail consulting. “This show was a productive one for our buyers, and we are so thankful for the opportunity to recruit and connect.”

Throughout campus, showrooms recounted a week of newly formed connections and quality order writing across categories. In the gift and home decor space, Heidi Haneckow, HomArt sales manager, noted, “While overall traffic felt more relaxed, Las Vegas Market was a great success for us this season. We had strong order writing, meaningful conversations and plenty of connection with both new and familiar faces. Las Vegas always brings a unique energy and creative spark that makes it such an inspiring place to show.”

Following a highly anticipated multi-brand showroom launch between Surya, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and Global Views, Mitchell Gold offered insight on the value of Markets and collaboration within the home furnishings industry.

"This was my first time attending or showing at Las Vegas Market, and I was thrilled with the response to our collection - our customers were here to write orders! Many customers appreciated how warm and inviting the showroom was and how convenient it to have all the Surya brands in one location.”

As the leading bedding market in the United States, Las Vegas Market provided a landscape for the industry to discover what’s next in bedding and mattress. Category leaders cited face-to-face connection and consistent orders as a testament to Market necessity. “Las Vegas Market continues to deliver exactly what we need: high-quality customer engagement and solid order writing,” said Toby Konetzny, CEO of South Bay International. “This summer’s show brought out the buyers we wanted to see and reaffirmed why Las Vegas is the premier bedding market in the U.S. It’s a key driver of our business and an essential platform for showcasing innovation and building relationships.”
