Conagra Brands is set to spotlight its $3.2 billion snack portfolio at the annual NACS Show in Chicago, where convenience store retailers from across the country gather to explore industry trends and new product innovations.
The event, hosted by the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), runs October 15–17 at McCormick Place.
This year, Conagra is using the hometown event to debut new products across several of its well-known snack brands, including Slim Jim, DAVID Seeds, and Vlasic.
Jill Dexter, President of Grocery and Snacks at Conagra Brands, said the expo is a key opportunity to showcase the company’s range.
“The NACS Expo always energizes our team,” Dexter said. “Few companies can match the diversity of our portfolio. We’re excited for attendees to sample our meat snacks, salty snacks, and seeds.”
