Bestway has announced its upcoming retail showcase that will bring together retailers, supply partners and its specialist retail team to help drive margins for store owners.

The announcement came today, on 14 April, confirming that over 1000 retailers and 140 suppliers will attend the new bigger showcase taking place at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre on 25 May.

The showcase will include elements of the regional Retail Development Shows and the Drinks at Home events, which is hosted by Bargain Booze.

Meanwhile retailers will be able to enjoy interactive events, experiential zones, branded stands and food tastings which will include masterclasses, cocktail making and pairing sessions to help drive customer engagement.

Live demos and presentations on best practice will also be featured in the event alongside a Marketing Zone which will have a drop-in session for advice with industry insights from Lumina.

Managing director, Dawood Pervez said: “We are delighted and proud to be launching The Bestway Retail Showcase, which is a major investment into our retailers, and takes our Retail Development Programme to a whole new level, launching as unique new trade show hand-in-hand with a new media partner.

“We’re there together to share ideas, learn from each other and build new relationships in a friendly, community and convivial atmosphere. This is just one example of the value add that Bestway Retail offers retailers as being the true champion of the independent retailer.”

He added: “We see this event as a journey of discovery for our retailers. It’s often hard for independent retailers to find time to discover the latest trends and insights to support their business but here is the opportunity for them to discover the latest and great new products and services from suppliers, as well as share ideas from meeting like-minded independent business owners, often with the same challenges.”
