Meet the Retailers and Wholesalers
Offering Insights to Store Brand Suppliers
As PLMA's 2025 Private Label Trade Show fast approaches, it's a good time for exhibiting suppliers to hear directly from highly placed executives at several of the country's leading retailers and wholesalers on what their current store brand objectives are and what they look forward to seeing on the Show floor, November 16-18, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago.
"Meet the Retailers and Wholesalers" is part of PLMA's yearlong Lunch and Learn speaker series, presenting four online sessions geared expressly for food and nonfood suppliers headed for the Trade Show, which is themed "Store Brands Marketplace" and will feature more than 35,000 products, 3,100 booths, and 2,000 exhibitors representing 65 countries.
