Urban Expositions will launch a new Northeast Flavors gourmet and specialty foods section at the upcoming edition of the Philadelphia Gift Show, July 2225, 2018, held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA. Northeast Flavors compliments the show’s Artisan Alley section, which debuted in January, in an effort to grow the show’s selection of locally-made gourmet and specialty food items and handcrafted artisan designs.

Featuring curated tabletop displays, Northeast Flavors and Artisan Alley gives new, first-time exhibitors a cost-effective entry point to the wholesale trade show.

“The Philadelphia Gift Show continues to be a cost-effective and convenient choice for the region’s retailers to shop an all-category show;  discover the newest designs, top lines, and locally-made resources, improve their productivity and prepare for the upcoming fourth quarter,” says Sonya Lowe, show director, Philadelphia Gift Show. “The addition of Northeast Flavors along with Artisan Alley section expands the assortment of products and bolsters the shopping experience for our Mid-Atlantic and Tri-State area retailers to help them pinpoint locally-made resources that will help them set their store apart.”
