AmericasMart Atlanta Beckons With Southern Charm and Community Spirit

Atlanta Market and Casual Market Atlanta offer unique experiences complete with Southern hospitality and city-wide attractions — from street greeters to Michelin-star restaurants — providing a one-of-a-kind adventure both in and outside of the markets, July 15-22, at AmericasMart Atlanta, according to a news release.

“Our foremost commitment at AmericasMart is to ensure an enriching experience for buyers and exhibitors with exceptional products and a comfortable environment,” said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORE CEO. “Atlanta’s vibrant culture and extensive attractions provide an unmatched backdrop, ensuring our visitors can fully immerse themselves in everything our city has to offer during their market visit.” 

A new “street greeter” program stations ANDMORE ambassadors around and between major downtown hotels to welcome buyers to market. Complimentary shuttles at nearby hotels are available for door-to-door transportation to and from campus.

Airport shuttles provide one-way transportation from AmericasMart to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Thursday, July 18 – Sunday, July 21, every hour on the hour between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. In addition to these initiatives, the Downtown Ambassador Force includes 40 officers providing public safety services in the downtown area.

Buyers can find everything they need on campus with daily coffee hours and grab-and-go breakfast, on-campus dining guides, charging stations and a buyer’s lounge equipped with light snacks, seating and computers. At-market efficiency extends to ANDMORE’s technology tools, the @Market App and Market Plan, both providing seamless integration before, during and after market through Scan & Go registration, exhibitor directory, wayfinder navigation, and saved photos and notes, company officials said.

Ranked among the Top 10 best cities in the South for 2024 by Southern Living magazine, Atlanta can appease every visitor from the adventure-seeker to the foodie. The High Museum of Art, Atlanta Botanical Gardens, World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium and some 45 Michelin-recognized restaurants are just a preview of Atlanta’s best, according to a news release.

Downtown Atlanta features nearly 40 hotels and more than 300 restaurants. For those buyers wanting more of a sprawl, areas outside of downtown — including Midtown, Buckhead and Inman Park — can enhance the market experience via the Atlanta Beltline, trendy speakeasies, live music and history centers.

Atlanta Market is an immersive wholesale sourcing destination housing one of the nation’s largest product mixes for gifts, complemented by a broad selection of home décor, furnishings, apparel and the nation’s largest outdoor living presentation. It features three buildings with 51 floors of showrooms and temporary exhibits with thousands of brands that attract retailers and designers from every U.S. state and more than 60 countries. The Summer 2024 Atlanta Market runs July 16-22, at AmericasMart Atlanta. For information, visit AtlantaMarket.com.
