Charlotte Merchandise Mart

The Charlotte Merchandise Mart's flexible design allows for a variety of shows to be held simultaneously. Mart entrances and exits are controlled by security in order to allow exhibitors to remain focused on he business at hand.

Above the ground floor exhibition area is 320,000 square feet of permanent office space providing room for businesses ranging from wholesale apparel, gift, jewelry and house ware companies, to show services, decorators and management entities, as well as hospitality and tourism related industries.

With all this square footage to cover on show days, the 300-seat restaurant on the concourse is a hit with patrons who refuel by way of either full service casual dining or express style light meals and snacks. And through its catering services, the mart can also provide reception or full dinner arrangements for any event.

Special Note: Permanent showroom space is available. Size configurations can accommodate 250 square feet to 5,000 square feet of contiguous space in either Independence Hall or Freedom Hall. In addition, a limited number of offices in the mart’s quiet, controlled and professional “Executive Suites Area” is also available for lease. For leasing information contact
