LR RESOURCES EXPANDS HIGH POINT SHOWROOM, SHOWCASES NEW COLLECTIONS

LR Resources is using its larger High Point Market showroom to present its full-size hand knotteds.

HIGH POINT, N.C. -- LR Resources grows its High Point showroom footprint moving to a new space, next to its original, that allows it to better display its rugs, said Mike Thompson, who also used the fall market to let clients know about some sales management appointments.

The company took over a space adjacent to its prior showroom and is now located next door at  Showroom 3450. In addition, the company, at market, announced the appointment  of  Grey Christie as Eastern regional manager and the promotion of Eric Driggans  to Western regional manager.

"The showroom move allowed us to move to an area that is considerably larger. than our earlier space," Thomspon said. "It is an easier space to shop than before because now we have a rack display that  can accommodate our 8x10  hand knotteds.

For High Point shoppers, LR Resources highlights its Kareena range, which features an Indo-Oushak weave hand knotted in India in a palette of neutrals in popular grays and blues (MSRP $2,400 in 8x10). Kareena is positioned for buyers looking to step up to hand-knotted rugs but who can't afford higher-priced products.
 
LR Resources debuts Kareena, a new collection of Indo-Oushaks, designed as a entrée to hand-knotted rugs. 
 
The company is also showcasing Integrity, a cut and uncut hand-tufted design made of wool, with an MSRP of $299 in 5' x 7'9".

However the company anticipates its new colorful Kessler collection, which features a cotton-face textured flatweave, with a secondary cotton backing to be its best-selling introduction based on early buyer response.
