PAVE Global is pleased to announce the official launch of the PAVE Global x Fred Meyer Student Design Challenge proudly sponsored by OPTO International
This Student Design Challenge will bring together top student design talent, an industry-leading fixture manufacturer, and a retailer for a truly unique opportunity. The best concept will be selected and brought to life by OPTO International to be displayed prominently within the PAVE booth at Shop! MarketPlace in Cincinnati, Ohio, this April. The student designer(s) behind the winning project will be attending the event to present their work in person.
Visitors of the PAVE booth can expect to be met with innovation, imagination, and sheer talent from this year's student designers. Shop! MarketPlace will be held at the Duke Energy Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, from April 9th through the 11th. Additionally, attendees of Shop!

About Fred Meyer
Fred Meyer is an American chain of hypermarket superstores operating in the northwest U.S., within the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. The company was acquired by Kroger in 1998, though the stores are still branded Fred Meyer. The chain was one of the first in the United States to promote one-stop shopping, eventually combining a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, bank, clothing, jewelry, home decor, home improvement, garden, electronics, restaurant, shoes, sporting goods, and toys.
