April Buying Week highlights cross-category sourcing
ANDMORE is gearing up for the first ever April Buying Week, offering three markets – Atlanta Apparel, Formal Markets and Spring Gift & Home Market – together as one cohesive sourcing destination, April 1 – 4, at AmericasMart Atlanta.
“With demand high for mid-market restocks of home and gift items and the debut of Autumn/Winter ‘25 and footwear collections, along with the seasonal demand for homecoming and formalwear, April Buying Week was a purpose-built opportunity to highlight all categories that AmericasMart Atlanta has to offer,” said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORE CEO. “By bringing together three complementary markets, we’ve created an efficient, all-in-one sourcing experience that maximizes buying opportunities across categories.”
Throughout the four-day wholesale buying event, attendees can explore products across 950-plus open showrooms and 300-plus temporary exhibits, presented over AmericasMart Atlanta Buildings 1, 2 and 3. In addition to exhibits, expertly curated events, amenities and installations will both showcase and celebrate the Autumn/Winter 2025 apparel season break, semi-annual formal sourcing and recent product introductions across home and gift categories.
