SPICE RATCHET’S NEW YORK GRINDER IN STAINLESS STEEL Spice Ratchet wants retailers and consumers to know that their New York Mills, now with a stainless steel option, can be used to grind more than salt and pepper. The mills provide alternatives from the flavor of fat, salt and sugar by using them for freshly-ground delicious seasoning. Be in control of what you eat; instead of accepting pre-seasoned “prepared foods.” Retailers may also tale advantage of a new counter display package.

AmericasMart Debuts New 14th Floor of Building One in July Atlanta – AmericasMart Atlanta expands their Home category with another new space, the 14th floor of Building One, set to debut at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market® on July 8. The 14th floor opens with sophisticated interiors and a rich, understated environment setting the stage for the nearly 100,000 square feet of high-end designer home furnishings and accessories showrooms opening in July. Located at the center of the AmericasMart Home product mix, the new 14th floor becomes the nexus for an entire building of home product, including the home furnishings temporaries on floor two; the area rug center on floors three through six; home furnishings temporaries on floors seven and eight; the home accents and fine linens center on nine and 10; home furnishings and accessories on floors 11- 15; and the holiday, floral & home décor center on floors 16-20. Joining 14th-floor flagship exhibitor Century Furniture and its new 3,200- square-foot showroom are: AMERICASMART (cont. from page 1) The investment in the new Gourmet/Housewares center exceeded their goals according to spokesperson Kristi Forbes, executive vice president of sales for AmericasMart. “The investment was a complete success,” she said. “I interacted with many buyers in January, and they told me that we got it right, that we were innovative. The cooking demonstrations and other events created excitement. January was a good show, and we walked away with a lot of momentum.” When asked how the market has changed with the investment in new space, Forbes said, “It’s been interesting. We didn’t focus on housewares before, but now that we’ve made this investment and are actually labeling a floor as housewares, we’ve created synergy. I’ve been here 17 years and I know that overlapping different types of components such as housewares, gourmet food, gift and tabletop is really important,” added Forbes. For the July market, the Gourmet Kitchen will be the center of activity. Forbes explained that the market exhibitors will be using the kitchen as a platform to build events. The exhibitors will be cosponsoring events at the market (See Events Sidebar for schedule.) Forbes wants everyone to know that the kitchen belongs to the exhibitors as well as the market. Events should be taking place non-stop in the kitchen throughout the market. Attendees to the July market will also have the opportunity to participate in product giveaways. The Gourmet Raffle will pick a daily winner and will offer such prizes as a Viking Food Processor, a designer knife set, a Le Creuset Round French Oven and a Jura Capresso ENA 4 Espresso Machine. Addressing the current economic downturn, Forbes believes buyers and exhibitors are optimistic that they will see signs that the economy is starting to turn in a better direction for July. “Things may be happening slowly this spring, but they are beginning to creep up.” she said. Forbes wrapped up and said, “We want everyone to know that we have new companies and we’re growing. When people think about gourmet and housewares, we want them to say, ‘We can’t not go to AmericasMart.’” She also predicted, “Our January 2010 market will be gangbusters.” The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market® Permanent Showrooms: July 8-15 Temporary Exhibits: July 10-14 Permanent Showrooms July 8-9, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday July 10-11, 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday-Saturday* Order ‘Til Eight!
