It’s the middle of spring but here at Convenience Distribution magazine we’re already looking ahead to summer as we work on the July/August issue. The editorial line-up for the Foodservice Issue includes a Foodservice Category Overview; the 13th Annual New Products Guide including Foodservice Products; Tobacco; Operations: IT; Trading Partner Relationships; Energy Shots & Drinks; and a preview of the AWMA Summit & Business Exchange (ABX). The Candy & Snack Wholesaler section will feature an NCA Sweets & Snacks Expo Wrap-up; and Sweet Snacks: Cookies.
