Provided By

Dallas Market Center

Since 1957, Dallas Market Center has served as a family-owned, international market center and trade show management company. Our campus (Trade Mart, Market Hall, World Trade Center, Homefurnishings Mart, and the former Apparel Mart) has been visited by presidents, heads of state, and celebrities. But what is most important is that the commerce inside the building has set lifestyle trends for everyday Texans and supported the retail economy for almost 70 years.
