St. Petersburg, FL (September 30, 2011) -- The second annual Shopapalooza, presented by Bright House Networks is moving the one-day local, shopping event to The Pier located at 800 2nd Avenue NE, in St. Petersburg. The move is allowing easier access and more shopping opportunities on November 19th from 10am-4pm, as well as room for entertainment and fun. "USFSP, the College of Business and the Sustainable Entrepreneurship & Innovation Alliance could not be more thrilled to be supporting LocalShops1.com's Shopapalooza 2011. It is a testament to the organization and its members that the event is so successful that moving the event to the beautiful and iconic St. Petersburg Pier became necessary," said Daniel James Scott, associate director of the Sustainable Entrepreneurship & Innovation Alliance. "Supporting local businesses is a priority for the people and community of this great city, and we look forward to participating this fantastic event.”

"The St. Pete Pier is the perfect location for Shopapalooza," said Ester Venouziou, founder of LocalShops1.com. “We're excited to be able to bring this year's event to the beautiful St. Pete landmark, and look forward to continue working with USF-St. Pete and MadHouse Advertising to make Shopapalooza 2011 the ultimate shopping day!” Shopapalooza will provide live entertainment to enjoy while shopping, dining, and most exciting of all, an array of small business-owners coming together at one location, along the water at the Pier to maximize the shopper's experience. All vendors are locally-owned businesses and will offer Black-Friday type of specials. It will be an opportunity to support your neighborhood shops and find unique gifts for your loved ones.
