| Article | Arley Wholesale, Inc., a family-owned, third generation wholesale supplier of tile, stone, glass mosaic tiles and installation materials, will host its 9th Annual Arley Wholesale Tile & Stone Exposition on Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Held at the extravagant Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the Arley Wholesale Tile & Stone Exposition opens at 10 a.m. and winds down around 5 p.m. on Tuesday evening, closing out a three-day celebration that includes the hugely popular Arley Golf Classic on Monday. After hosting a record-setting exhibition in 2010 despite a down year overall for the tile and stone industry, Arley Wholesale’s regionalized format featuring only products and materials currently in-stock or immediately on the way, has proven to be a tremendous draw for dealers and retailers. With nearly 30 leading tile and stone manufacturer reps on-site this year representing over 100 individually labeled installed floorboards, over 100 concept boards, 70 grouted panel sets, multiple vignettes and much more, Arley’s annual event has become the ideal replacement for long and costly national exhibitions. Hector Narvaez, the executive vice president of sales and marketing for Marazzi USA Group, will once again be in attendance this year in Scranton for the Arley Wholesale Tile & Stone Exposition. He offered his thoughts on the event for any dealers out there considering attending the June 7 exhibit: “For any dealer that wants to come out and see the newest and greenest products in the industry, Arley Wholesale does a fantastic job of very quickly bringing in the latest and greatest in tile and stone. They put the newest products out on display and stock them immediately so that as soon as the samples hit the showroom floor, Arley can fill the orders. It’s a great time to buy into some great promotions and to have some fun with many industry friends and factory representatives. The entire event is done with class and it reinforces to each dealer the commitment that Arley Wholesale has to carry and deliver the best products with the best service.” Arley Wholesale extends this invitation to store owners, architects, interior designers, specification professionals, builders, contractors and members of the media looking to browse the very latest styles and trends in tile and stone. Embracing the most modern ink-jet technology and tile design, Arley Wholesale will showcase more large-format, 12” x 24” porcelain tile collections than ever before. Arley has made strategic adjustments to how displays can be set up and tile, stone and glass mosaic tiles, even from different manufacturers, can be blended together in the same merchandising display for better presentation and more profitable sales. “We couldn’t be more excited about continuing the Arley Wholesale tradition than we are for this year’s event,” said Scott Levy, Executive Vice President of Operations at Arley Wholesale. “We had an incredible turnout last year, and we’re already expecting this year to be even bigger and better. We expanded the show floor and SKUs on display, offering an even easier method of selecting and ordering products. As always, we’ll have a long list of great deals and specials available for our customers to select from.” Arley Wholesale has negotiated guaranteed rates on room rental packages with the Scranton Radisson and other hotels in close proximity. The Radisson Lackawanna Station provides free shuttle service to and from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre International, located just 10 minutes from the hotel.
