Trade Mart (TM)
The Dallas Trade Mart is home to hundreds of showrooms featuring gifts, decorative
accents, lighting, tabletop and stationery. Opened in 1959, its four floors surround
an atrium called The Grand Pavilion at the Trade Mart, featuring the largest indoor
marketplace pond complete with live fish and palm trees. Many special events are held
here including the Dallas Fashion Awards gala, ARTS Awards gala and private parties.
It was also the destination of the President John F. Kennedy motorcade in 1963 where he
was scheduled to give a speech to 2,600 people at a sold-out luncheon. In 1964, Elizabeth
Erink of England created the bronze sculpture “The Eagle” in honor of the president. It
sits outside the main Trade Mart entrance today. The building was expanded in 1976 and
2007 and now has approximately one million square feet of space. Dallas Market Center
management and marketing offices are located on the fifth floor of this building.

They became a permanent fixture at
the Dallas Market Center in 1980 when
the opened their first 1,500-square-foot
showroom. In 2006, they changed the
company name to Next Generation to
reflect the growing, changing nature of their
business. In 2011, they launched their
newest agency, 3 Gentrys. The combined
showrooms now occupy almost 20,000
square-feet on the first and second
floors of the Trade Mart. Today it is truly
a family operation: Don and Joyce have
retired, and their daughters – Kim Pounds,
Bev Cain and Michelle McGuire – are
carrying on the family legacy. Next
Generation and 3 Gentrys now carry
about 65 product lines and have 21
professional territory managers. The two
agencies have become popular go-to
showrooms for mom and pop stores
who want to carry the latest and greatest
of new products.
