Fourth annual event for independent grocery
retailers builds on last year’s success
SUPERVALU INC. (NYSE: SVU) today announced plans for its fourth
annual National Expo, which will be held July 25-27 at the
RiverCentre in St. Paul, Minn. The event will feature a full day of
educational seminars and workshops tailored to help independent
grocery retailers serve their customers better, as well as access
to more than 300 vendors across nearly 130,000 square feet of
exhibit space.
“In a short period of time, the National Expo has become one of
the must-attend events in the grocery industry,” said Mike Stigers,
Executive Vice President, Wholesale at SUPERVALU. “The Expo gives
independent retailers the opportunity to learn from experts through
thought leadership content, industry trend discussions, and
networking opportunities all geared toward strengthening
relationships and further enhancing their businesses. It also
offers retailers the chance to meet personally with hundreds of
vendors to hear more about new products and solutions that can help
them drive additional sales in their stores.”
Retailers attending the 2017 Expo can expect to find a showcase
of innovation, featuring new items, new merchandising solutions and
new in-store concepts spanning all aspects of grocery retailing.
Retailers also will have access to special products and promotions.
One of the Expo’s favorite features is the Monster Buys and Auction
items event, where prices on merchandise continue to drop as more
quantities are purchased. Last year, more than 200 separate items
were featured as part of the Monster Buys and Auction.
Another highlight of the Expo is the Master Marketer Awards
ceremony, which will be held on Thursday, July 27. The awards
recognize the best merchandising, marketing and community relations
initiatives from SUPERVALU’s independent retailers over the past
year. Last year, Karns Foods, with eight locations in central
Pennsylvania, was named the Grand Master Marketer, the top award
presented.
Attendance at the National Expo is by invitation only. SUPERVALU
customers will receive information about event registration, travel
and hotel directly through their account managers. Vendors should
contact their region merchandising team for information on applying
for a booth. Other interested industry personnel should email the
National Expo event coordinators directly at
