Our Story

Mark Passis and his family have been bringing together the closeout and general merchandise industry since the 1940′s. What was once held in hotels and later convention centers is finally found in this purpose-built permanent showroom building. Today’s chain retailer can step off a plane and be sourcing product from the industry’s leading exhibitors at TMC in minutes.
