The Las Vegas Market has added five new and expanding showrooms and another 15 temporary exhibitors, pushing its gourmet resources to more than 500 for the first time for the summer market, which will be held from July 30 to August 3.
In total, the Las Vegas Market now presents a concentration of more than 200 gourmet lines on floors C1 and C11 and more than 300-plus gourmet-relevant brands across the campus, in both permanent showrooms and in gift and home temporary exhibits in The Pavilions.
On C1, two other newly confirmed showrooms will debut this summer: Danya B., a supplier of contemporary ceramic, glass and metal kitchen and dining products; and Hester + Cook, a provider of kitchen products, papers, lighting and home accessories.
New gourmet showrooms located on C11 include: ARK, a multi-line vendor collective featuring nine lines— Artim Home Textiles, Beyond the Olive, CLM Cotton and More, Columbian Home Products, Eme Flatware, Excalibur, Nautilus Water Distillers, Omega Juicers and Zojirushi; and Shun Cutlery.

These newcomers join three previously announced new gourmet showrooms on C11: Katie’s Candies, LuRay Collection and Sertodo Copper.
“Las Vegas Market identified the gourmet category as one of its strategic building blocks and our first gourmet housewares presentation launched on C11 in summer 2015. Since that time, the floor has grown exponentially to showcase more than 200 gourmet lines, with expected sold-out status to be achieved by the end of 2017,” said Dorothy Belshaw, president of gift leasing and CMO, International Market Centers.
