At NCS, we’ve got convenience in the bag

The meeting place for likeminded convenience retailers hungry for everything new in a market worth some £47bn*, returns in 2020, with key issues such as crime, technology, political engagement, sustainability, plastics, CBD, health and wellness, food-to-go, social media and the ban on menthol cigarettes, set to be tackled head-on.

The Retailer Hub will be the place to find business inspiration, bringing together a selection of leading suppliers, retailers and industry experts to share cutting edge shopper insight and business advice, alongside practical demonstrations.

Crucially, the show offers 2020’s most compelling opportunity to see and sample literally hundreds of business-changing products under one roof.

What did our 2019 Visitors Say?

“As an independent retailer, you need to know what’s coming out in the future. You can feel the products, you can taste them, you can see what’s new on the market, you can see what’s trending in the market.”

Barry Patel Owner, Nisa Retailer
"I'm looking for suppliers of technology rather than food. I've seen a great mix of exhibitors and even though it’s been a flying visit it's been fab - the food sampling has been great."

Elanor Stubbs, Shire Leasing
"If you’re a retailer just come here and you’ll find everything you need."

Mark Wohltmann, Director, Europe, NACS
"I have definitely found some interesting products and the show feels much bigger than last time. It's very interesting to see a mix of sectors and trends all under one roof."

Aaron Piper, Assistant Manager, Moulton College Garden Centre
"I think it’s really important for the small producers, to get out there and speak to local retailers, the independent retailers and just get known- there isn’t another show like it!"

Anna Remington, Business Unit Controller, Ferrero UK Ltd
"I’m looking to start my own business in September and I thought this would be a good place to get information and also meet potential suppliers I think it’s absolutely amazing. It gets everybody in one place so as a retailer or café shop owner I don’t have to go to different places I literally come here and see all the people I need to talk to here to help me progress."

Stella Garfield, Owner, Littleford and Highnesses
