This year was great! It's really growing; more retailers and more store owners are going. I noticed a lot of new people (for us to potentially do business with) at this year's show.

Convenience U 2026 was a standout! Lots of new and familiar faces and not to mention a great new venue!

I have every intention of returning next year and will request a larger space with better exposure and knock the ball out of the ballpark a second time … I just need to catch my breath first as I had to quote two conveyors already today for people we met at the show.
