WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING
“This is where I’m looking at equipment; where I’m looking at new foodservice
products that we can actually use in the grocery business, where I help to develop
new concepts for upcoming grocery stores and different restaurant-style
foodservice offerings that we’re going to put into new stores.”

Manager of Food Operations, Mariano’s
