“I feel the CFIC convention is a great venue for wholesalers, retailers , and manufacturers to engage in driving business in a relaxed family friendly environment. These elements are what made the 2016 convention a success.”

John Owens

“This years’ Convention turned out to be extremely productive for our Acosta team, as we were able to conduct several meetings with many key retailers. Additionally, this venue afforded the opportunity for our clients to be engaged with senior management in those key retailers. The ability for delegates to be able to conduct business, while being able to get in a little “R & R” with their families, is unique in our industry.”

The CFIC Convention is more than an industry event, it’s an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, share ideas, and build relationships that help drive our business forward in the Carolinas. Bringing together leaders from across the grocery industry in one location creates tremendous value for both retailers and suppliers. I encourage all of our supplier partners to attend and take full advantage of this outstanding networking opportunity.
