Las Vegas Market announced nine new showrooms and 25 new lines will debut in building C, floor 11—a destination for gift-oriented housewares, tabletop and specialty food—at the Summer 2016 Las Vegas Market.

The most recent additions bring the overall number of gourmet resources on C11 to over 200 lines, with hundreds more presented across the Market’s 40 showroom floors and two temporary pavilions. Gourmet resources will also be represented in more than 500 temporary exhibits in the pavilions at the market.

Debuting showrooms are gourmet and gift supplier Brand Castle, tabletop and housewares provider Circa Asia, and tabletop and housewares resource Janey Lynn’s Designs. Several companies, including upscale cookware manufacturer Le Creuset, confirmed their intent to participate and multiline agencies like The Travers Group and Happily Handmade USA will feature a variety of prominent housewares and tabletop lines.

“As the leading furniture, home décor and gift destination in the western United States, Las Vegas Market is committed to presenting an exciting, cross-category assortment of gourmet housewares, tabletop and specialty food resources that will appeal to our existing gift and home décor buyers, as well as offer new buying opportunities for gourmet retailers,” said Dorothy Belshaw, president of Gift & Home Décor, International Market Centers.

Other Summer Market highlights include the addition of some 40 new tenants in the gift, housewares and home décor categories as well as 50 new furniture companies and a presentation of the top 15 bedding manufacturers.
