Casual Market Atlanta announces new showrooms and more for summer 2026

Casual Market Atlanta announced growth ahead of its Summer 2026 Market, running July 21–23 at AmericasMart Atlanta. Produced by ANDMORE in partnership with the International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA), the three-day event brings together more than 120-plus permanent outdoor furnishings resources in a single location, enabling buyers to evaluate product, pricing and partnerships efficiently. Casual Market delivers a full spectrum of outdoor products — including furniture, shade, fire features, lighting and accessories — within a layout designed for side-by-side comparison and rapid evaluation.

Floor 7 emerges as a growth hub with new showroom expansion

Leasing growth for Summer 2026 is concentrated on Floor 7, where five new permanent showrooms will open during Market week, each with ribbon-cutting ceremonies. The additions span established national brands and design-focused specialists, strengthening Floor 7 as a destination for buyers across product tiers.

The new showrooms include:

  • Ashley Furniture / Outdoor by Ashley (7-A01)
  • Casual Comfort (7-B11)
  • Prestige Casual (7-B01)
  • Royal Teak Collection (7-A02)
  • Seahawk Designs (7-A06)

Additional product expansion includes Sunset West’s introduction of its Margaritaville line in Building 1, Floor 6 (6-A02), further extending the market’s assortment across lifestyle-driven outdoor offerings.

“The leasing growth we’re seeing on Floor 7 reflects suppliers’ investment in this market because they see buyers showing up and ready to do business. We’re meeting that momentum with a stronger experience, a smarter temporary exhibit structure, and programming designed to help buyers make the most of their time on-site,” said Amory Wooden, chief revenue officer of ANDMORE.

Outdoor Living Expo: The new home for temporary exhibits

Summer 2026 marks the official launch of the Outdoor Living Expo, the newly named and restructured temporary exhibit experience at Casual Market Atlanta. The updated format brings Outdoor Living exhibitors together in a more streamlined environment, making it easier for buyers to discover new brands, source products and write orders efficiently during their time onsite.

Looking ahead, LUXE Outdoor Living will debut at Fall Casual Market in September as a dedicated, high-design destination within the Expo, showcasing a juried collection of premium, design-forward brands on Floor 8 near the new Oasis Meeting Space.
