 | | GREENVILLE, S.C. — Now that it is outfitted with a large new category of goods — free-standing accent, bath and outdoor rugs — 828 International Trading Co. said it is ready to call New York City its "828 Home" away from home. |
 | | For a newly created division titled just that — 828 Home — the area rug supplier has developed and added accent, bath and outdoor rug offerings that target a broader retail customer, which includes mass merchants and specialty chains. |
 | | To better promote 828 Home's wares, the company is, for the first time, moving into a permanent showroom in New York, leasing a 2,890-square-foot space at 295 Fifth Ave., where it will showcase its new product category, which debuts with more than 1,000 skus of assorted rugs, said Jim Clardy, president. |
