Road Runners opens its largest-ever showroom in Dallas
Road Runners will unveil its largest showroom to date at the June 2026 Dallas Market, expanding its Trade Mart space by more than 2,500 square feet to create an 11,300-square-foot destination for gift, home, fashion, gourmet and lifestyle retailers.
The expansion brings several brands to Dallas Market for the first time, including Freshwater Curated Goods, Clark and June, Lynette Reed Studio, Big Potato Games and Table Theory, offering retailers fresh product categories and new opportunities for discovery.
“For 27 years, our mission has been simple: to provide retailers with a one-stop shopping destination,” said Tosha Grebe Pearson, Road Runners’ president. “This expansion enables us to bring even more brands, products, and inspiration to Dallas while making the buying experience easier and more productive for our customers.”
Conveniently located at the entrance to the Trade Mart, Road Runners remains a first stop for many buyers attending the market. Throughout the week, visitors can enjoy complimentary breakfast, locally roasted gourmet coffee and a daily 2 p.m. Popcorn Social.
Special events throughout the week offer retailers even more reasons to visit the newly expanded showroom. Buyers can get a head start during VIB (Very Important Buyer) Shopping on Tuesday, ahead of the market’s official opening day. Wednesday highlights include a book signing by Paraclete Press author Lexa Hale and a Noble Mick’s Craft Cocktails Espresso Martini Flight tasting. On Thursday, retailers can create a custom accessory at Freshwater Curated Goods’ Design Your Own Bag Charm Bar, celebrate The Darling Effect’s fifth anniversary, and enjoy Bubbles with Locked by Lula ‘n’ Lee and Road Runners’ popular Game Night, featuring food, drinks, prizes, and a Winton and Waits create-your-own Twilly scarf necklace styling demonstration. Finish off Friday with a Grand Opening Celebration at 4 p.m., featuring Cowboy Cannoli.
The expanded showroom reflects Road Runners’ continued investment in helping retailers discover emerging brands, trending products and proven best sellers across multiple categories, all in one place.
Retailers attending Dallas Market are encouraged to visit the Road Runners showroom to explore the new space, connect with industry experts and discover products designed to drive sales and delight customers.
