Abbey Press will be hosting a Grand Opening in its new permanent showroom in Atlanta’s AmericasMart. The wholesale marketer will have show specials, refreshments and drawings for free products Tuesday and Wednesday, July 9-10.

Leasing space in Building 2, showroom 1340, from Divinity Boutique, Abbey will be open for business in time for the July International Gift & Home Furnishings Market. With its inspirational giftware, kitchenware, books, greeting cards, stationery and wrapping paper, Abbey has exhibited in the Temporaries at AmericasMart for more than 20 years.

“Having a permanent showroom on a high-traffic floor will provide a better environment to strengthen relationships with our regular accounts, to more actively partner with national and international key accounts, and to explore partnerships with new companies,” said Sue Kloeck, director of trade marketing.

“Abbey Press is an established company that has been in business for nearly 50 years, with a great deal to offer in inspirational products,” Kloeck added. “This move shows that we are a serious player with a solid commitment to the marketplace.”

Kloeck believes that sharing the space with Divinity Boutique makes good sense.

“Our business goals and values are similar, though our products are different in style and focus, so they complement each other,” she said. “Together, we can offer customers a great shopping experience with quality and customer service they can trust.”

The showroom will be open four times a year during the seasonal gift shows. Beginning in January 2014, Abbey Press will celebrate its 50th anniversary, offering commemorative products and sales specials.
