Where People and Products
Compete for Business
Store brands. Store brands. Store brands. That’s all you see
and hear about. And it’s no wonder, too. Because store
brands are soaring among supermarkets, drug chains,
mass merchandisers, dollar stores, convenience
stores, and specialty food retailers.
Where does it all come together? At PLMA’s
2014 Store Brands Reality Trade Show. More
than 2,400 exhibit stands. Over 5,000 buyers
and visitors. Nearly 20,000 different products
– from food, snacks and beverages to health
and beauty, from kitchen and household
to GM. All store brands. All under one
roof at one time.
Store brands are fun, too. There’s PLMA’s
“Jungle Island Survival Test”. Or guess who wins
when shoppers go head-to-head, up and down the
aisles of a typical American supermarket in the
“Market Basket Savings Contest.” Chefs get into the act,
too, matching ingredients and cooking styles on
“Battle of the Recipes.”
Nov. 16-18,2014
For the purely business-minded, PLMA’s Store Brands Reality Trade Show means a
show floor filled with more than a thousand exhibitors from over 30 countries. Whether
you are a small manufacturer or a large international supplier, it is a unique
opportunity to meet the largest concentration of private label buyers anywhere.
To maximize efficiency, the show floor is divided into food and non-food. The
North Hall and Sky Hall are devoted to food, snacks and beverages while the
South Hall presents health and beauty, household and GM. Whichever hall
you call home, PLMA helps exhibitors before, during and after the
show to get the most out of their exhibits.
n PLMA’s online Show Preview opens 30 days before the
show so you can announce new products to retail buyers.
n At the show, PLMA’s New Product Expo ® gives you the
chance to spotlight your innovations in products and packaging
at the Idea Supermarket®.
n And the Official Program Guide, distributed
to retailers at registration, gives you
free listings and advertising
opportunities that last throughout the year.
You can take exhibit space in many shows, but no
show will get the job done better than PLMA’s
Store Brands Reality Trade Show. That’s why 85%
of the show’s exhibit space is renewed every year.
Don’t miss out. To exhibit, contact PLMA today.
