CoolCupsandStuff Moves To Permanent Space At The Dallas Market

Dallas, TX —Retailers take note! CoolCupsandStuff is venturing into permanent space with the opening of its new showroom at Everything Gourmet, the Gourmet Market in Dallas. The showroom will open in conjunction with the opening of the Total Home & Gift Markets June 22, 2011.

“We are so excited about moving into our first permanent space,” says Cammy Hodges, CoolCups founder and national sales & account manager. “Texas is a notable portion of our customer base, so it makes sense to have a year-round, locally-based showroom to better serve our customers.”

Everything Gourmet, which encompasses specialty foods and beverages, cookware, kitchen and wine accessories, and tabletop, is the only permanent gourmet showroom in the United States that is open daily. It is located on the first floor of the World Trade Center and hosts approximately 130 companies in 25,000 square feet of showroom space. The Dallas Market Center traditionally attracts from 30,000 to 40,000 wholesale buyers to the Total Home & Gift Markets each year.

Hodges is particularly excited about the support CoolCups will receive from the market staff, in addition to CoolCups’ Texas sales reps. CoolCups reps will be on site for the markets in January, June, and September, and by appointment all other times. The Everything Gourmet Showroom Director and staff are on site at off market times, taking orders, contacting reps and handling product information. Market showroom hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, including weekends. Off market hours are weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

“CoolCups is known for making a cool product, but we also pride ourselves in accessibility and delivery for our customers, continues Hodges. “This permanent showroom is a huge step forward in our customer service.”
