Combined Market Brings Apparel, Formal and Gift + Home Resources Together at AmericasMart Atlanta

Atlanta, GA – August 22, 2024 – ANDMORE℠ announces the launch of a new April Buying Week, combining its Atlanta Apparel, Formal Markets and Spring Market (Gift + Home) into one comprehensive, cross-category sourcing and shopping experience, April 1-4, 2025, at AmericasMart Atlanta.

“April Buying Week represents a significant advancement in how we deliver value to our buyers,” said Dorothy Belshaw, ANDMORE president. “This unique new spring buying event creates a comprehensive marketplace, which simplifies the buying process, streamlines diverse product categories and enhances the cross-category shopping experience.”

By shifting Spring Market from its typical early March timing to early April to coincide with the April editions of Atlanta Apparel and Formal Markets, April Buying Week revolutionizes the buying process. Integration of three major AmericasMart Atlanta market events into a single, concurrent marketplace affords buyers access to myriad apparel, formalwear, gift and home resources in nearly 950 permanent showrooms and 400 temporary exhibits, all available in one location. The combined markets, which feature a mix of permanent showrooms and temporary exhibits, will run Tuesday, April 1, through Friday, April 4, 2025, at AmericasMart Atlanta.

Additional information about April Buying Week, including exhibitor lists, daily events and amenity schedules and registration, will be available in the coming months.

Merchandise is showcased in AmericasMart’s 400+ Open Year-Round showrooms with nearly 2,000 top lines in holiday, floral, gift, home, garden, casual & outdoor furnishings, seasonal, gourmet, entertaining, tabletop, home decor, children's and toys.
