Foreside Home And Garden To Open New Store in Chicago

Foreside Home and Garden, a highly-regarded manufacturer known for its distinctive decorative accessories and furniture, will expand its trade show locations with a new show space at the Chicago Merchandise Mart this summer. The company’s location will be hosted by Peterson Associates, a sales agency covering Illinois, Michigan and Indiana. To celebrate the space, Foreside will host one of its signature housewarming parties in Peterson Associates, located in Suite 13-126, Saturday, July 30, from 5:00PM – 7:00PM.

“We have received wonderful feedback from customers and have experienced great success since returning to the market place earlier this year,” says Claire Woodsum, Vice President of Merchandising and founder of Foreside.

Made popular during the winter 2011 market season, Foreside’s upcoming housewarming party will include an array of appetizers, signature Foreside cocktails and cookies, and the highly-sought Foreside “Never Ordinary” bag as a takeaway. Individuals will have the opportunity to browse more than 350 new product offerings by Foreside, including an entirely new lifestyle collection, Mountain House. The new collection covers relaxed accessories and furnishing to warm any home or second home.

In addition to the new Chicago location, Foreside Home and Garden has a flagship showroom in Atlanta and will also be transforming their Dallas space inside the HomeStyle showroom, World Trade Center, Suite 236.
