World’s Largest Fair Trade Retailer Expands in Atlanta Market

Ten Thousand Villages, the world’s largest and one the oldest fair trade retailers of artisan-crafted products, is proud to announce the opening of its newest location in Atlanta at The Avenue® Forsyth.

“This is a great opportunity to expand the mission of Ten Thousand Villages,” said Craig Schloneger, Ten Thousand Villages U.S. Chief Executive Officer.  “We look forward to working with the Atlanta community to spread the mission of fair trade into the mainstream Atlanta market.”

Guests will be able to enjoy a comforting cup of organic, fair trade tea or coffee from the Equal Exchange coffee and tea bar while perusing Ten Thousand Villages’ newest product collection—Tapestry—just in time for the holiday season.

“On behalf of the entire Ten Thousand Villages Cumming team, we are eager and excited to invite our Atlanta neighbors to experience the handcrafted products made by our fair trade artisan partners,” expressed Joyce Press, Ten Thousand Villages Southern District Sales Manager.
