What is the MPLS MART?
The MPLS MART is the premier regional merchandise mart for the Upper Midwest. For more than 60 years we have served the wholesale marketplace with home décor, gifts, apparel, jewelry, accessories, home & garden and much more.
What's offered?
A unique opportunity to join us at the Upper Midwest gathering point for resale business. Everything is on one level, laid out in four walkable wings around the center lobby. With no elevators and no stairs it is easy to work and easy to navigate for anyone with mobility concerns. We are 100% business-to-business, with all of our space dedicated to our showrooms and their business. We provide the utilities, high-speed internet, 24/7 leaseholder access, free on-site parking and the convenience that only a purpose-built facility can provide. Affordable lodging, great restaurants and easy access to everything nearby offer a wide variety of choices for your customers.
Why lease here?
We offer the most competitive per-square-foot rental cost for permanent leaseholders in the industry, giving vendors an economical way to showcase their full lines in the midsection of the country. The MPLS MART is centrally located and easy to drive for the majority of the surrounding states, which makes it an economical and safe exhibition option for retailers to attend. We provide centralized data and event marketing, and let you focus on doing business. Our Buyer's Guide directory is professionally published by the Mart three times annually and displayed on our website for further exposure.
