The Munce Group's CPE Regionals scheduled for January are open for pre-registration and have attracted independent retailers from all marketing-group affiliations, such as John's Christian Stores in Carol Stream, Ill. (Covenant Group), Southern California's Lighthouse Christian Stores (Parable) and J.O.Y. Bookstore in Sinking Spring, Pa. (Munce), a Munce statement said.

In addition to independents, many church bookstores will be in attendance, the statement said, including Calvary Chapel Distribution and affiliated stores. Geni Hulsey of The Garden Bookstore at Houston's First Baptist Church and president of the Church Bookstore Network (CBN) is to lead specific training for church bookstores and will hold CBN meetings at each regional show.

“We are very encouraged by the number of retailers who have pre-registered,” said Brad Poel, tradeshows and events manager for Munce. “We have a good mix of independents coming to the shows, and we are excited to serve each of them.”
