Intro: For a preview of the next hot tobacco products to hit convenience store shelves, the place to be last week was the Tobacco Plus Expo here.
The Expo, which bills itself as the largest tobacco-focused show in the U.S., drew owners and operators representing the nation's approximately 12,000 tobacco outlets. The show floor featured more than 180 exhibitors with a wide range of products, from the traditional new flavors and sizes of cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco to myriad specialty items and accessories including hookahs, glass pipes, humidors, cigarette cases, cigar cutters, candles and incense.
The event was kicked off Wednesday evening by the NATO (National Association of Tobacco Outlets) Awards Dinner, followed the next morning by an educational program headlined by Convenience Store News Editor-in-Chief Don Longo and NATO President Andy Kerstein.
In the first presentation, Longo teamed up with Mike Kirkwood, executive vice president, Tobacco Outlet Magazine, to provide attendees with a comparison of the convenience store and tobacco outlet channels.
