Menefee and Urban in Jewel Partnership
Staff -- Gifts & Decorative Accessories, 6/1/2003
Industry leasing veteran Chris Menefee and Urban Expositions and Development LLC, Atlanta, formed a partnership, Jewelry Expositions LLC, to create wholesale jewelry and accessories cash and carry shows that will debut later this year. Open to the trade only, Jewels Expo shows will operate at Philadelphia's Fort Washington Expo Center (October 18–20), Palm Beach's South Florida Expo Center (November 8–10), and Atlanta's Cobb Galleria Centre (December 5–7). "The three locations were chosen based on the concentration of the retail buying audience, the amenities offered by the exhibition facility and its surroundings, and ease of access," said Menefee. Product categories to be offered at the shows include semi-precious and precious stones, handbags, wallets, jewelry, fashion accessories, fragrances, scented products, leather goods, watches, and more.
