LA Mart Provides More Reasons to Shop Summer GALLA Market

Buyers to the LA Mart GALLA Summer Market, July 16 – July 21, 2014, will be greeted with a rebranded 9th floor featuring new showrooms, expanded spaces and updated resources. A single badge gains buyers access to all venues in Los Angeles in addition to free shuttle service and free parking at the LA Mart, making shopping the LA Mart more convenient and easy than ever.

“We are elated to welcome all of the new resources and assist with the multiple showroom expansions here at the LA Mart,” says Frank Joens, senior vice president, general manager at the LA Mart. “Showrooms are not only writing great business here during our markets, but they are also doing business 5-days-a week in between shows. Plus, as the Southern California economy continues to bounce back, we are seeing huge numbers of brand new buyers attend our building. It is a great time to be part of the LA Mart family.”

Joens and the LA Mart GALLA team will welcome nearly two dozen new and expanded showrooms this summer.
