OFF PRICE SPECIALIST SHOW AUGUST 25-29, 2006 LAS VEGAS ADDS HOME & GIFT SECTION

The Off Price Specialist Center, producer of the Off-Price Specialist Shows, recently announced that the Home & Gift Show will co-locate with the highly successful Apparel Show this August. The two shows will be held August 25-29, 2006 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.

�Adding the Home & Gift Show to our major Apparel Show in August is great news for both shows,� says Bill Jage, CEO of the Off-Price Specialist Center. �Our August Apparel Show draws nearly 12,000 buyers from large and small retailers throughout the country and the world looking for great deals on a wide variety of goods, and our Home & Gift Show traffic has increased substantially since its inception three years ago. As we�ve learned from our May Apparel and Home & Gift Shows, where the crossover traffic between the two adjacent shows is heavy, retail today is all about having a broad array of goods to meet customers� diverse shopping needs. By providing our show attendees with a one-stop shopping venue where buyers can find apparel, footwear, and accessories in one area and then step over to an adjacent area displaying a wide array of home and gift merchandise, all at tremendous savings, we are better able to serve our exhibitors and our buyers.�

The Off-Price Specialist Show, which began in 1995, has developed into the second largest fashion event in Las Vegas with over 450+ exhibitors covering 110,000 sq feet. It is an integral part of the bi-yearly fashion industry week in Las Vegas, which brings approximately 50,000 visitors to the city.

In May 2004, the Off-Price Specialist Center launched the first Off-Price Specialist Show � Home & Gift. The Home & Gift Show features top-quality brand name home goods sold by leading manufacturers, importers and wholesalers. Attendees include some of the biggest names in the off-price and discount retailing market place.
