you're invited

On behalf of Frontline Stores, we are delighted to be able to invite you to the Frontline Australian Buying Event (FAB Event) this February in Melbourne. The event is open to all retailers and is RUN BY THE INDUSTRY, FOR THE INDUSTRY and proudly supported by ARL and the ARA.

We are thrilled to announce that this February once again, our event will run alongside and in alignment with Melbourne Gift & Lifestyle, as a result of its huge overall success in March 2022.

Your registration to FAB Event will give you easy access to both of these industry-leading events. Come along and network with other independent retailers, see your favourite brands, source new product opportunities, and attend one of the education sessions or “On the Body Showings” for lingerie purchasing, all in one venue at the iconic Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.

We look forward to welcoming you at the event.

Glen McLeod - Co-CEO's,

In February 2023, Associated Retailers Limited will once again partner with Frontline and support the FAB Event at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Due to the hard work of the Frontline Team, once again there will be the added advantage of the Gift & Lifestyle Show running in the adjacent halls at the same time.

Retail and your customer expectations are changing so quickly, and with that comes the necessity to review the brands you stock. After the disruption of the last few years 2023 is a perfect opportunity to visit the FAB Event and see what new suppliers (some representing overseas labels) have on offer, and also full ranges from your regular suppliers in a great buying environment. The Gift & Lifestyle Show also gives you the opportunity to search out those unique add-on products that make Independent Retailers not only a destination, but most importantly a great place to shop.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in February.

As a Frontline Member, you receive a membership with the Australian Retailers Association (ARA). I invite you to engage with our powerful ARA community and to involve your company and workforce in the advancement of the retail industry and our members.

Services available under your membership include – Advocacy, member surveys, exclusive research content, bespoke events, leasing and legal advice from experts, and access to our ARA employment relations team.

This long-standing FAB Event not only provides industry assistance, it allows the chance for independent retailers to network with each other and discover new product and supply opportunities all in one event!

It is great to see Frontline offering this event to all retailers. This will allow retailers to visit and experience firsthand the extra support that they can have access to if they are members of Frontline.

AERTEX standS #191, 192

In the late 19th century Lewis Haslam, a Lancashire mill owner and politician, began to link the partnering of holes and warmth. He began experimenting with aeration; trapping air within the warp and weft of fabric. The result was a fabric that provided a barrier between the skin and atmosphere. Keeping you warm on cold days and cool during hot days. During World War II the British and Commonwealth land forces in the Far East and Middle,wore Aertex bush shirts and jackets. By the 1960s Aertex became a sports and school wear classic in the UK, across a wide spectrum of sports including tennis, cricket, netball and football.
