LAS VEGAS -- Two area rug vendors celebrate their new Las Vegas Market showrooms and Loloi, again, expands its footprint at World Market Center during the summer event, July 31-Aug. 2.

Loloi Rugs expands its World Market Center, Building B footprint even more for summer market-goers, adding approximately 3,000 plus additional square feet. The new space was opened up and incorporated into Loloi's smaller dedicated Magnolia Home suite.


Loloi took over a showroom adjacent to its dedicated Magnolia Home collection space and united the two.

Loloi has a busy summer market schedule, showing in the Dallas, Atlanta and Las Vegas markets, and Austin Craley, VP of sales, Loloi, told RugNews.com, "We have recently physically expanded all three showrooms, as we feel it is important to continue bringing the Loloi brand to customers wherever they are able to visit us, especially during these uncertain economic times."


Loloi's new space provides private space to meet with key accounts, in addition to giving it additional room to display
its growing rug assortment.
