(Las Vegas) – February 9, 2007, World Market Center recently contracted with locally owned Magic Brite, a janitorial and maintenance company owned by Robert Gomez, to service its second building, which opened on January 29, 2007.
Magic Brite responded to a request for proposal. Gomez said World Market Center is an ideal client for Magic Brite. “World Market Center is one of the most dynamic projects going on in the city and it is a great opportunity for a company like ours to get involved at the ground level.”
World Market Center chief operating officer, Gerry Sawyer, said, “Magic Brite is a long-standing, reputable cleaning company and has experience with convention-style cleaning requirements. Magic Brite is also a minority-owned business that maintains agreements with several temporary staffing agencies. We try to award contracts to locally owned and minority-owned companies whenever possible, and Magic Brite is a good fit for our needs on many levels.”
Las Vegas City Councilman Lawrence Weekly said, “I am very pleased that World Market Center is really taking a proactive approach in giving local minority companies an opportunity to get involved in the success of such a great project.”
World Market Center is an integrated home and hospitality contract furnishings showroom and convention complex in Las Vegas. When fully built, at 12 million square feet in 8 buildings, World Market Center will be the largest trade show complex in the world. The 12 million-square-foot campus will be completed by 2013 and will showcase furniture, decorative accessories, lighting, area rugs, home textile and related segments, as well as the Las Vegas Design Center (LVDC) open year-round to the trade. The Summer Las Vegas Market takes place July 30 – August 3, 2007 at World Market Center and Sands Expo & Convention Center.
