Griffin Greenhouse Supplies kicked off the 2015-16 booking season with two Grower & Retailer Expos, held August 26-27 at the Eastern States Exposition Center in West Springfield, Mass., and September 3-October 1 at the Lancaster County Convention Center in Lancaster, Penn. Account attendance at the show grew more than 10 percent over 2014 figures, reaching a new all-time high for the company.

The Expos are an annual staple for Griffin and its customers, dating back to 1981. The shows feature more than 150 exhibitors representing hard goods, retail supplies and green goods. Attendees stock up on inputs for the new season, taking advantage of exclusive booking specials and discounts. Each two-day event also includes educational sessions and networking opportunities for professional growers and independent retailers.

On the heels of setting these attendance records, Griffin has also announced the dates for its 2016 Grower & Retailer Expos. The company will host two Expo events next year, each spanning two days. Each Expo will feature booking specials and educational sessions representing all facets of Griffin’s business including hard goods, construction, green goods and retail supplies.

The first 2016 Griffin Expo will take place August 31-September 1 at the Eastern States Exposition Center in West Springfield, Mass. The second Expo will follow September 21-22 at the Lancaster County Convention Center in Lancaster, Penn.

“We’re eager to build on this year’s success,” says Griffin president Rick Hyslip. “Our team is already working to make next year’s Expos even better for our grower and retailer customers.”
