🎉 Last week, Thomas attended Chex Finer Foods, the annual trade show. This show was particularly interesting to highlight because it's different - it’s a distributor show rather than a typical trade fair. ✨ This was our first time participating in a distributor-led trade show, making it a valuable opportunity to engage directly with retailers. Chex Finer Foods’s retail customers loved our product lines, sampled new flavors, and got a sneak peek at the new branding we’ll be launching mid-year! 🎉 Major distributors like UNFI and KeHe organize similar events, bringing their retail partners together to connect with suppliers. These distributor shows play a crucial role in strategic growth - because getting onto store shelves is just the beginning. The real challenge is keeping products there and driving continued success. 🚀 #CHEXPO #FoodIndustry #RetailGrowth #DistributorShows
