Abstract:

The home furnishings trade is big business in High Point. Each year in the spring and fall, the city is home to the International Home Furnishings Market, which attracts 80,000 manufacturers, retailers, and designers, who come from all fifty states and 109 foreign countries. The exhibition, held in 180 buildings, is the largest trade show in the industry and generates $340 million for the local economy.
