Abbey-Showroom4Abbey Press will open its doors to wholesale gift buyers, April 27-May 4 during its Open House event at Saint Meinrad Archabbey in southern Indiana. Abbey Press has hosted this annual event since 1994.

The Open House includes special shopping hours in the company’s on-site showroom and tours of the offices, warehouse and Archabbey. Trade representatives will host dinners on Monday, April 27, and Thursday, April 30, in the Archabbey’s dining rooms, during which a presentation by Deacon Michael Keucher, a recent graduate of the seminary, will be given.

During the Open House’s shopping hours, guests will be able to view and order Abbey Press’ entire product offering. Buyers will also receive a sneak peek of new items, including the “Wings of Comfort” memorial collection and additions to the popular “Woman of Faith” line. These new items will not officially debut until June, so those attending the Open House will be among the first able to order. Discounts up to 15% will be available for qualifying orders.

“The Open House is beneficial for both the customers and our representatives,” says Sue Kloeck, director of Trade Marketing for Abbey Press. “Buyers have total access to our entire product line and the chance to visit our beautiful Archabbey; and our reps are able to spend quality one-on-one time with their customers, outside the constraints of the often hectic trade shows we attend.”

Wholesale gift buyers interested in attending the Open House are asked to contact their Abbey Press sales representative, or call Brenda at 800-621-1588, ext. 8449. Attendees requiring overnight accommodations are invited to stay at the Archabbey’s on-site Guest House.
