ANDMORE’s 17 downtown properties will feature 1,000 permanent showrooms and temporary exhibits, including the launch of Shoppe Object @ High Point, and present more than 30 educational and networking events before, during and after the five-day market. “We are excited to debut the ANDMORE at High Point Market brand and to provide buyers with a plethora of resources, programming and amenities to make the most of their time at the October market,” said Bob Maricich, CEO of ANDMORE. “New brands and new partnerships, as well as the exciting launch of Shoppe Object at High Point Market, make this a must-attend buying event this fall.” ANDMORE at High Point Market offers retailers and designers access to 600+ permanent showrooms and 350-plus temporary exhibits in 17 buildings across High Point. Fall Market showroom highlights include new, expanded and relocated resources at IHFC, North Hamilton and SAMS across all major categories. New in temporaries for Fall 2023 is the launch of Shoppe Object at High Point Market, showcasing a curated collection of 100 temporary exhibitors, Oct. 14-18 at the Historic Market Square.

More than half of the exhibitors will be making High Point debuts, bringing new brands to High Point.
