2 Opening Days at the Off Price Specialist Show
2 Opening Days at the Off Price Specialist Show
In addition to the quality items and fantastic belowwholesale deals at our shows, the Off Price team is equally proud to be part of a supplier community whose diversity is as rich and dynamic as the fashion industry itself.
A big part of this community is our religious observers representing 60+ companies, whose booths will be closed on Opening Day - Saturday, August 23rd for their Sabbath. To honor this collective, which includes some of the biggest names in off price, we are promoting a 2nd Opening Day on Sunday, August 24th.
“We encourage buyers to come early, come often to the show so that there aren’t any missed opportunities for their stores,” says Stephen Krogulski, CEO of the Off Price Specialist Show. “The Sunday Opening is another reason why.”
“Opening Day II” ends with the Off Price Apparel Association’s 2008 Man of the Year Gala celebrating Peter Hayes of Variety Wholesalers at 7:00 PM at Treasure Island Casino & Hotel Grand Ballroom.

T.O.P.S. - The Very Best of The Off Price Show
Before you enter the show, be sure to stop by our T.O.P.S.

Each day will feature new outfits with "Off-Price" tags on each garment and accessory that also shows the exhibitor and booth #. Also, be on the look out for Off Price staff that have been recruited to be live models and check out the great deals they are donning. The T.O.P.S. Pavilion is also where the Buyer Tours begin.
