KeHE Hits New Milestone At Summer Selling Show

"This increased attendance is a testament to the value of KeHE's Summer Selling Show in the industry," said Brandon Barnholt, President and CEO, KeHE. "Our growing community of retailers and suppliers know they can find the hottest deals, best new and established brands, and exciting innovations at our Summer Selling Show."

New for 2017, the OnTrend Pavilion in the New Products Showcase included more than 100 new products and educational presentations; the New Orleans Pavilion featured local flavors and live jazz; and the Fresh Pavilion, a centerpiece of the show, proved to be a hot destination with wide-ranging offerings for bulk/foodservice and retail deli, bakery, cheese and perimeter departments.

Retailers also cast their votes for the "Best of" items, out of more than 30 new featured products. The 2017 winners are:

• Best New Product: Center Store Grocery – Simple Mills
• Best New Product: Fresh/Frozen – Three Twins Ice Cream
• Best New Product: HBC/VMS – Wedderspoon Manuka Face Cream
