  • Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) April 03, 2015 - This agreement was made between Pride and Merchandise Mart Properties (MMPI) for the continued occupancy of Pride's showroom on the Mart's 15th floor. The luxury casual furniture designer and manufacturer has maintained the 11,000 square foot showroom since 2012 when it relocated due to the restructuring of the casual furnishing floors.

    "The Mart is a proven supporter of our industry and subsequently, Pride Family Brands is committed to maintaining a major presence within The Mart. With a long term agreement, our ongoing partnership will be able to continue in a manner advantageous to everyone," said Steve Lowsky, president, Pride Family Brands.

    "MMPI has been a steward of consistent growth for the casual industry and the host of thousands of casual furnishings buyers annually," said Byron Morton, Vice President of Leasing, MMPI. "Pride Family Brands has been a part of the Merchandise Mart family for over 35 years and we are excited to have reached this agreement to continue this valuable relationship."
