DALLAS – The expanded and reimagined Temps at Total Home & Gift Market, June 22-25, will be the largest in more than ten years and has already attracted numerous key brands, Dallas Market Center announced. The first show of the summer season will include new product collections, expanded existing collections, new floor layouts, and hundreds of new exhibitors across the marketplace.

“Our momentum is amazing as we reach this important milestone for the reimagined Dallas Temps,” said Jo Ann Miller Marshall, senior vice president of leasing. “Buyers will be thrilled with how we have elevated the show with new collections, top brands, and the best makers. Exhibitors know that Dallas is delivering the new buyers and eager order-writing to support their business.”
