Food exhibitions and wholesalers

Hey, guys! I'm hoping the good people of the Kitchen Consumer forum can help me help my Aunt Cathi.

She's thinking of opening a specialty foods shop, either in Dallas or in Rhode Island (she splits her time between the two), and is a newbie to the business. She's curious as to where to start sourcing products - any thoughts about industry exhibitions or shows she could attend to start building relationships and exploring possibilities?

Obviously, things in the Southwest or Northeast would be the most convenient, but she'd love to hear any ideas you all have!

Many thanks in advance.

if she can wait that long she should go to the NYC Fancy Food Show and she'll have more options than she knows what to do with. The summer Chicago salt was cancelled this year. If she can't wait, then subscribe to the two free magazines - Specialty Food Retailer and Gourmet Retailer. There's a couple of smaller mags that are good also.
