Dallas Market Center recognizes that retailers with significant sales volume and buying power have distinctive needs. To meet those needs, DMC's Major Store Services staff provides special services not offered by any other marketplace and always complimentary to the retailer. The services we coordinate, the New Resource Service and the Private Buy Service, simplify the buying experience, saving time and allowing a much more productive process.

New Resource Service

Exclusive to Dallas Market Center. Shop our marketplace efficiently by allowing Major Store Development to search in advance for the items you need most. Specify any necessary criteria such as construction, style, delivery or price, and we will consult our exhibitor base. We gather catalogs, photographs and line lists and provide them to you for your advance consideration. We then invite each of the manufacturers whose products interest you to schedule an appointment during your market visit. Your buyers arrive with an advance awareness of product, ready to make immediate decisions. They can then continue to tour the world's largest wholesale marketplace.

The Private Buy Service

Meet with many of your suppliers on your terms. Save time, travel and its associated costs, by meeting with the vendors at Dallas Market Center during times and dates of your choosing. Specify the vendor list and timing. We handle all the details such as invitations, appointments, travel, logistics and most anything else you require. You may meet with any manufacturer, including our permanent exhibitors and those who do not show at our facility. The service is complimentary to the retailer; participating exhibitors pay a modest participation fee. Our staff monitors the event through its entirety and sees it through to completion, providing a temporary office for your use during the event. Advantages are one-on-one time with vendors with no regard to geography, trade show timing and other retailers. You can consolidate all of the required vendors within any given industry into Dallas for appointments.

Major Stores have a sales volume of $50 million or greater.

Consider your merchandise needs and take advantage of this and the other services we provide. We are standing by and ready to assist.
