LA Mart Extends GALLA Market 3 More Days For Gift Show at LA Convention Center

The LA Mart announces today that it will add three additional GALLA Market days so it can create a seamless and enjoyable experience for buyers attending the California Gift Show.

The LA Mart will extend their GALLA show dates to be open on Friday, January 31, Saturday, February 1st, and Monday February 3rd, from 9am to 5pm. Free shuttle service from the Convention Center to LA Mart will be available. The LA Mart has elected not to be open on Super Bowl Sunday, February 2nd.

“We know that the change of the convention center’s show dates, off of Los Angeles’ traditional third week in January gift show cycle, has been puzzling for some buyers,” says Frank Joens, senior vice president, general manager at the LA Mart. “Many buyers are accustomed to attending both shows during the same time period so we made the decision to step up and put the buyers first by opening these extra days.”

Joens worked with his showrooms to extend their open times on the heels of a very successful Winter GALLA Market. “Our goal has been, and will continue to be, to meet the needs of our buyers first,” adds Joens.

Buyer amenities include free shuttle service from the Convention Center to the LA Mart, free parking, free WiFi service in the Lobby as well as free coat and baggage check. For those arriving form Union Station to the LA Mart, taxi reimbursement is available.
