The Charlotte Gift & Jewelry Show
was organized in June of 1953 by Mr. Earl H. Mahone,
Jr. and soon became one of the strongest regional
shows in the country. After outgrowing Radio Center
in Charlotte (1963), the show was moved to its current
home, the Charlotte
Merchandise Mart.
Mahone Associates has since launched
The National Motorsports Merchandise Show, The Jewelry
Show, both in Charlotte, NC, and the Charleston Gift
and Jewelry Market in Charleston, SC.
The National Motorsports Merchandise
Show is held twice a year and runs concurrently with
the Charlotte Gift & Jewelry Show in January and
September. This show features NASCAR collectibles,
WWF Collectibles, Racing Apparel and Die Cast items.
The Myrtle Beach Jewelry, Apparel and Accessories Show is housed at the Myrtle Beach Convention
Center in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Founded in April of 2006, the Myrtle Beach show is a buyer's and exhibitor's dream come true. While at
the show, attendees can step down to the boardwalk and dance the Shag, a dance born in Myrtle Beach and
described as “Southern tradition of style and grace. Shopping the unique shops of the Broadway at the
Beach, Barefoot Landing or the many “outlet” complexes gives new meaning to “Shop till ya drop”. If golf
is your game, then let's face it, Myrtle Beach is the place. There are nearly 120 Myrtle Beach golf courses
in the Grand Strand area. Some of the countries most beautiful and challenging courses are right here waiting
for you. Many of Myrtle Beach’s golf courses were designed by the greats, such as Arnold Palmer,
Jack Nicklaus, and Francis Duane. And of "course" there are plenty of places available for the beginner as
well. Myrtle Beach is a perfect place to combine business with pleasure.
All shows run three days (Saturday,
Sunday 9am- 5pm and Monday 9am- 3pm). Each show has
an order writing and cash and carry section, with
the exception of the Jewelry Show which is entirely
cash and carry.
