For the first time in its 70-year history, Kreiss will exhibit at the fall High Point Market in High Point, N.C., Oct. 20 to 26.
The company’s new showroom will be located in Suite 300 of the 330 North Hamilton Building in the Hamilton Wrenn Design District in High Point.
According to Michael Kreiss, president and chief executive officer of Kreiss Enterprises, the company has secured space at the High Point Market to connect with high-end retailers from around the world. The goal is to identify potential partners for its exclusive Kreiss Gallery and licensed showroom program. Since last January, the company has partnered with key retailers to open 21 Kreiss Galleries and two licensed showrooms throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Cayman Islands. The firm also currently has 18 company-owned showrooms in the United States, and will open its newest licensed showroom in Dubai later this year.
“We are rapidly expanding our brand, while closely controlling every aspect of our growth, and we feel it is important for us to continue driving the momentum of the Kreiss Gallery Program by showcasing this initiative in High Point,” Kreiss said. “Our family and executive staff are excited about bringing the concept to the High Point Market and we are looking forward to having many fruitful meetings there with key high-end retailers from around the world.”
Kreiss’ decision to exhibit in High Point is “extremely significant for both the company and our market, and we are thrilled to welcome them to the world’s home for home furnishings,” said Brian D. Casey, president and chief executive officer of the High Point Market Authority, official sponsor of the High Point Market. “Market-goers this fall are heading here seeking not only the newest products and latest trends, but also new concepts and solutions for growing their businesses. For this reason, the addition of Kreiss to the high-end offerings at our market is particularly timely.”
The largest Kreiss Gallery, at more than 10,000 square feet in size, is located inside Top 100 retail chain Gallery Furniture in Houston.
