The Cool New Products Preview Room at the 2022 NACS Show, October 1-4 in Las Vegas, offered NACS Show goers the chance to check out the latest products, flavors, packaging and technology innovations available to the convenience and fuel retailing industry.
The Cool New Products Preview Room is based on the Show Expo and organized into five categories—Facility Operations, Foodservice, Fuel Equipment & Services, In-Store Merchandise and Technology.
Retail buyers always get a first look at the latest new products featured in the preview room on the opening day of the NACS Show, one day before the Expo floor opens. Then retailers get exclusive morning access on day two of the Show before the Cool New Products preview room opens to everyone late morning.
“In the Cool New Products Preview Room, retailers can find a snapshot of new products, trends and innovations in the industry,” said Nicole Walbe, NACS director, supplier engagement. “They can use what they see in the preview room as a ‘roadmap’ of what to look for in the Expo when it opens.”
During a visit to the room, Show goers scan their favorite new products using the official NACS Show mobile app, then Walbe’s team tallies the scans each day and shares the top 10 via the NACS Show e-Daily newsletter.
