Welcome to Manny Stone Decorators

The Javits Center Sustainability Program: "JavitsCares" is a new effort designed to facilitate the donation of materials and goods at the conclusion of blockbuster events at the convention center. In conjunction with event managers and exhibitors, our staff coordinates the donation of these items to various non-profit organizations throughout the New York region, including local schools, churches and theatre groups. The mission is to repurpose these items, such as chairs and tables, and ensure they are distributed to New Yorkers in need." Click here to read more.

Small Business Comeback Story

May 2022: Joe Connolly of WCBS 880 interviewed Lloyd Stone about Manny Stone Decorators, as part of the "Small Business Comeback Tour" series. As Connolly points out, the Manny Stone Decorators' business, hard hit during the pandemic, is making a comeback thanks to multiple pivots. Manny Stone Decorators creates trade show booths for conventions at the Jacob Javits Center and other local sites, and running the business the last two years has been an "acrobatic act," as described by second-generation president Lloyd Stone.

"I decided I needed to either prepare to go out of business or prepare for the new normal. And it was a parallel route," said Stone. Click here or on the image to watch the full interview on WCBS News.
