The new and improved Congreenience Store was back on the NACS Show floor for the second year. This year, we shifted the focus away from a display of green products and moved to an educational and sensory experience that involves retailers, suppliers, case studies, non-profit organizations, educational videos, industry experts, a resource library and online resources for a complete “Congreenience Experience.”
