The New Vendor Avenue at the next CHS (Canadian Hardware and Building Materials Show), which was introduced for newcomers to the fair, is already sold out. Now the organisers are intending to designate additional exhibition space to this segment. The New Vendor Avenue was originally introduced at this year’s event. The next fair will take place in Toronto from 1 to 3 February 2004. It is organised by the Canadian Retail Hardware Association and endorsed by the Canadian Hardware & Housewares Manufacturers Association.
