More than 300 showrooms across AmericasMart® Atlanta’s home décor, gift and apparel collections are open for business weekdays and will be showcased in multiple buying opportunities through the end of 2020.

Fall Cash & Carry Market, October 27-29, features additional brands selling showroom samples and temporaries offering immediate goods. This is the first Cash & Carry event hosted at AmericasMart since the start of the pandemic and is the perfect chance to restock for the holidays and beyond. AmericasMart’s thousands of Open Year Round brands offer special discounts and buying incentives during Market Wednesday on December 2.

Design Sourcing Continues

Designer traffic to the market center is steady, driven by a need to source for projects before the holidays. “For many designers, business has not slowed and even increased during the COVID19 crisis,” notes Designer Services Manager Tasha Norland. “The home décor and commercial design brands are open and actively assisting designers in sourcing for their projects.”

Norland is on campus daily to assist designers by appointment. Interested buyers can contact her directly by email at [email protected] to schedule a private tour of the home décor collection and discuss recommendations for their projects.
