British Columbia’s foodservice industry continues to outpace the national average. Between 2000 and 2007, the BC average unit volume soared by 41.7%, nearly double the national average of 23.1%. With a strong economy and the upcoming Winter Olympics, food-service sales in British Columbia are poised to grow an average of 3.9% per year between 2008 and 2011.

 

Vancouver welcomes the world in 2010. The 2009 BC Foodservice Expo is an opportunity for you to prepare your kitchen and your menu to welcome the myriad of international and national guests.

 

BC Place Stadium is a very versatile venue hosting concerts, sporting events and the province's largest trade and consumer shows. It is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver – offering first class hotels, fine dining establishments, bars & nightclubs and outdoor recreation facilities lie within walking distance of the show.

 

 

Buyers from all sectors of BC’s $8.4-billion foodservice industry are gearing up for the 2010 Winter Games and beyond. Showcase your best so we can share the best of BC with the world.

 

Industry professionals take the time to visit the show because they are ready to buy. Use your booth to provide samples, showcase working products, create interactive opportunities AND provide all the information necessary to help customers evaluate your product right away.

 

CRFA presents the 2009 Booth Awards, recognizing excellence and thoughtful execution of booth concept, design and presentation. The Nat Bailey Award for Best in Show is awarded by WhiteSpot Restaurants.
