 WHITE PLAINS, NY,

Through this partnership, we are able to offer our members VIP access to the Show where the industry’s top decision-makers convene for three days.” The NJRA Foodservice Arena is one of the most popular features of the Show, attracting thousands of restaurateurs from the tri-state region and around the world. Product categories to be featured within this space include beverages, credit card and payroll systems, cutlery, equipment, furniture, oil and grease systems, packaging, and table linens, as well as services such as architecture, design, construction and culinary schools. The Arena will be enhanced this year with the addition of specialty pavilions, including International Flavors, Green Solutions, Business Solutions and Pizza Solutions. Additionally, the Education Center, inaugurated in 2010 with a series of peer-to-peer seminars about current industry subjects will continue. “The success of the IHMRS depends greatly on strategic relationships such as this,” said Lynn White, show manager. “It’s through these partnerships that unique destinations are created on the Show floor, generating buzz and excitement. The NJRA produces a fantastic Foodservice Arena each year that serves as a central location for the Show’s foodservice professionals, and this year will be no exception.” Established in 1942, the NJRA has become an essential ingredient for successful and professional restaurants in New Jersey through its representation and education of the Garden State’s 23,000 eating and drinking establishments generating $13 billion in annual sales and employing over 300,000 people.
