PreMarket
One month before High Point Market means it’s time for Premarket, a three-day event organized by a group of sponsor showrooms that is supported by High Point Market Authority. Premarket is a great time to get a jump on sourcing and seeing what’s new at showrooms that you may not get to during the actual Market. I don’t know about you, but I always run out of time.
Three HPxD members are official sponsors of Premarket:
Hooker Furnishings, Showplace 3rd Floor, Sun-Tues; 336-819-7276
Riverside Furniture, 401 S. Main, Sun-Tues. Walk-ins Welcome, ask for Wesley Sims 706-207-3977
Universal, 101 S. Hamilton. 877-804-5535
While we know these showrooms will be open Sunday through Tuesday, calling ahead to assure you can be seen is always a good idea as some showrooms prefer “by appointment.”
With well over 100 companies will open their doors to retailers and designers. It’s a great time to get a jump on the new introductions or to discover brands you don’t seem to ever get to during regular Market hours. Furniture Today always has the most comprehensive and updated list of participants.
The following HPxD member showrooms are also open and accessible during Premarket. Please consult The HPXD List for phone numbers.
