Local convenience retailers and industry attendees will see a new entry in the protein market as Greenridge Naturals brings its snack stick portfolio to the NACS trade show. The family-owned brand is set to showcase its shelf-stable products at the Las Vegas Convention Center beginning October 7, 2026.

Why it matters

The company is looking to tap into the high-volume convenience retail sector, which serves as a major engine for consumer goods distribution. By positioning itself at NACS, the brand hopes to meet the rising demand for natural, nitrate-free proteins in quick-stop markets across the country.

The U.S. convenience store industry recorded $906.1 billion in sales during 2022 across roughly 150,000 locations. While the market sees 160 million daily transactions, the specific impact of new product launches at NACS remains to be determined.
