Gift manufacturer opens its own store

January 30, 2020

Demdaco, a giftable products manufacturer, is set to unveil its first retail concept, at Legends Outlets Kansas City. The company says it relishes the data opportunity that a brick-and-mortar location can provide.

Demdaco, which designs and manufactures artisan gifts for distribution at stores nationwide, says this 2,460-square-foot store will offer a range of artist-driven items, including home-decor products, holiday and seasonal gifts, baby gifts, apparel and accessories. The shop will also offer coffee and baked goods.

“After more than 20 years of selling to gift shops all over the country, we’re excited to open our first Demdaco-branded store here in our hometown, at Legends Outlets,” said Lance Hart, the company’s president. “This provides a new opportunity to better understand which products and concepts resonate with consumers from a wide region and [to] share what we learn with our network of retail partners.”

Demdaco is anticipating a late-spring opening for the store.
