AmericasMart Atlanta 18th Floor unites for “Shop the Top” event

The vendors and sales agencies on the 18th Floor of Building Two at AmericasMart Atlanta have joined forces to celebrate the resurgence of premier brands and renewed energy on the top floor with a dynamic new event: Shop the Top. The event will take place Tuesday, Jan, 13, and will showcase a playful “Cherry on Top” theme.  

Buyers visiting the floor will enjoy breakfast with coffee carts, lunch, and afternoon snacks and drinks served throughout the day by all participating vendors, many of the drinks and snacks will be cherry themed. In addition, all will be running special promotions to further entice and incentivize our buyers to shop the top. 

The 18th Floor proudly welcomes Mud Pie and DEMDACO as new additions to the floor, joining a strong lineup of existing vendors and agencies including Darrah and Company, OneCoast, and Transpac Brands/Sullivans Floral. This powerful mix of leading brands and sales organizations is expected to draw significant buyer traffic and reinforce the  value of dedicating at least a full day — if not two or three — to explore the depth and variety the floor now offers. 

“The 18th floor represents a strategic gathering of leading brands and innovative product lines,” said Doug Cofiell, CEO of Ivystone/OneCoast, whose brands include Mud Pie, DEMDACO, as well as representing Transpac Brands across many markets.” It’s a space crafted to help retailers uncover new opportunities — whether they’re exploring emerging categories or identifying their future top sellers.” 

“As an original tenant on the 18th floor Darrah & Company is thrilled to have the vibrancy return to 18,” said Lindsay DeMeyer, president of Darrah and Company. “We are so excited to be surrounded by some of the best organizations in  the industry and are confident that we will all benefit from the new mix of brands.” 

“It was fun to collaborate with the other brands and agencies on the floor. It’s always great when “competitors” can come together to create something special for our industry. We are truly excited to have such a great breadth of brands  and products on the floor that makes it truly a floor that buyers must see,” said Laurie Gliner, president/CEO of Transpac Brands. 

“The 18th Floor at AmericasMart Atlanta is a true showcase of collaboration and innovation. Bringing together leading branding and agencies on the floor creates an exciting experience for buyers, one that inspires discovery and drives  success,” said Scott Eckman, president of leasing and marketing at ANDMORE. “We are proud to support this incredible group of tenants and the energy they’re bringing back to the top.” 

In addition to the collaborative Tuesday celebration, many vendors will also host their own individual events throughout  the week — ensuring that buyers will find exciting reasons to return to the 18th Floor day after day.
