“This is the perfect opportunity to pick up any missed lines from our winter GALLA Market and to see hundreds of new lines never shown before at the LA Mart,” says Frank Joens, senior vice president, general manager at the LA Mart. “We all know that fourth quarter sales for most retailers are where the year’s largest concentration of transactions happen and pre-ordering the best selection for that season is paramount to a retailer’s success. Our showroom’s selections are outstanding and are sure to provide the best the industry has to offer for the holidays.”
