Throughout the year, Unified provides numerous opportunities for retailers to dialog directly with suppliers, network with peers and discover ways to build your business at a variety of themed selling events and informative seminars.
If you’re interested in growing your business, you won’t want to miss the largest supermarket products show in the western United States, Unified Grocers Expo. This annual two-day event, which is typically held in June, showcases the hottest new products and provides participating retailers with direct access to key Unified personnel, brokers and suppliers. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in some of the best deals of the year — featuring many of the most popular products in your store!
In addition to Expo, Unified hosts a number of smaller, more focused shows and seminars throughout the year for our retailers. In the spring, we offer local GM/HBC marketing events where retailers can meet with suppliers, listen to topical speakers, participate in educational sessions and of course, get great deals on the seasonally-correct products they need.
Each fall, Unified hosts “Extravaganza,” a specialty foods show in Reno, Nevada that is operated by our Market Centre subsidiary. Here the focus is on gourmet, natural, organic, ethnic, confections, health and wellness, and other specialty products — all in a fun and lively atmosphere.
Additionally, Unified hosts regional shows throughout the year that are designed to educate, entertain and enlighten while also providing the products — and the deals —you need to stay competitive in your trade area.
