2025 NIE Show Feedback:
-
Doug Frank, GM/Buyer, Rainbow Acres
“The great thing about the Naturally Independent Expo is that you not only get a good dose of education on store operations and products, but you also get face time with the vendors that exhibit. We get the opportunity to develop relationships with many new brands and others that support independent retailers, something there is very little time for at the larger shows. Over the past few years of attending we have found more than a few lines that have had substantial growth and positive impact for our store and our shoppers. I highly recommend you make plans to attend the 2026 and help support this worthy organization and the success of Independent Retailing!”

“I had a great time at the Naturally Independent Expo, it is one of my favorite shows for independent retailers. It is great to have like-minded retailers in a smaller setting so that you can actually get face time with brands and have meaningful conversations. The brands that show up tend to be really understanding of the challenges independents face and are committed to working with you. I have found several new products for our stores at this show, and I take advantage of any show deals with vendors we already work with. In the years I have attended, I have made some really amazing connections that I value immensely!”

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the education panel. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how I can get even more involved with next year’s show. I’m excited to see the show grow in the future!”
