ATLANTA – International Market Centers marks a major capital and strategic investment milestone with the Winter 2022 completion of its multi-market “Atlanta NEXT” transformation of the AmericasMart Atlanta home décor offerings. An additional 60,000+ square feet of new, expanded, relocated and renewing showrooms are confirmed in the lead up to the Winter Jan, 11-18, 2022 Atlanta Market.
“The latest 19 updates drive the eight-floor home décor marketplace to capacity, fulfilling IMC’s vision to create a compelling design-driven destination for market and year-round buyers,” said Scott Eckman, IMC executive vice president, chief revenue officer. “When we embarked on the Atlanta NEXT plan in 2019, we had no idea what the next few years would bring, but we continued in our commitment to reimagining our home décor sourcing experience.
