2008 Buying Shows

3 Buying Shows

We have three buying shows a year, each with twelve-week shipping periods. This makes up a total of 36 weeks of Buying Show allowances annually.

The Buying Shows are an excellent opportunity for one-on-one contact with vendors and Hawkeye personnel. We provide you with give-aways, seminars, CEUs, hotel accommodations and mileage reimbursement, as well as a cocktail party and entertainment the night before the show.

Customized Show Book

Our show books are custom printed with your prior 12 week history next to the items featured in that coinciding buying show. This allows you to efficiently and effectively book product and obtain allowances.

Go-Show

These regionally held buying shows were started to make you aware of new products available in a smaller setting. They have since grown to featuring over 70 vendors with hundreds of featured items. Our Go Shows are held on a regional basis to offer maximum availability for our customer base. By showing only new items these shows offer the unique opportunity to see the newest products and current trends in foodservice.
