BJI announces premarket plans

Staff -- Casual Living, 4/1/2005

Brown Jordan International will unveil its 2006 products from its premier retail brands — Brown Jordan, Tommy Bahama, Winston, Vineyard and Molla — during its Premarket Expo July 11–15 at Chicago's Merchandise Mart. BJI's key customers will be invited to an exclusive showing July 11 and 12.

"After much deliberation, we decided to hold the event at the Merchandise Mart rather than Lake Las Vegas as we have for the past few years," said Ron Ball, BJI's vice president, specialty retail sales. "We feel that Chicago offers a perfect venue, and now that the event is supported by the SCFMA and the industry as a whole, it was an easy decision for us. It's an exciting year for us — Brown Jordan will be celebrating its 60th anniversary and Winston its 30th."
