McLane Company Inc., a supply chain services company providing grocery and foodservice supply chain solutions, is showcasing at the 2019 NACS Show, Oct. 1-4 in Atlanta.
McLane’s booth is a destination experience that allows attendees to experience new interactive technology, McLane Kitchen, the foodservice at retail offering, and Consumer Value Products (CVP), McLane’s private label products subsidiary. McLane Kitchen and CVP are offering samples of their newest products, as well as some tried-and-true favorites.
The technology area displays McLane’s latest consumer facing technology on a variety of devices such as Surface Pros, smart phones, the CT50 Honeywell smart handheld device and a new tablet built with c-store operators in mind.
Featured technology includes the recently announced back office management solution, a one-stop-shop for retailers and all their technology needs, and a new text notification feature on McLane’s Delivery Tracker Application that sends a text message straight to a retailer’s phone if their delivery is delayed.
The CVP area is featuring 40 newly debuted products including:
- Four new dog treat flavors from Beau Dacious
- Safety attire and gear from Work Fare
- Phone accessories and electronics from Road-Tech
- Health and beauty products from CVP
The four new Beau Dacious products are also featured in the Cool New Products preview room. CVP products are available to both McLane customers and non-McLane customers and are currently offered at retail locations nationwide.
McLane Kitchen features a fully functioning kitchen with new menu offerings for attendees to experience throughout the show, including a roller grill western jalapeno omelet, pre-packaged salads and deli-style sandwiches. These items are being sampled in the booth, along with Fly Guys Pizza, stuffed waffles, JCX coffee and cold brew coffee.
Vito Maurici, VP of sales at McLane Company, was a panelist and presenter in a NACS Show educational session entitled “Success: A Practical Guide to Sell Your Product, Service or Equipment to Convenience Stores” on Oct. 2.
