SMR has a long history of bringing different products to Carlie C’s and our experience with SMR has been great! We have found SMR to have an honest well managed staff that does an excellent job in taking care of our company’s needs. It truly has been a pleasure working with SMR all these years and we look forward to our partnership in the future…..

Hi Danny, It is hard to believe that was our last Syracuse show. I have to say, SMR shows are always at the top of my list! We always leave with some great orders and we have a fantastic time. I love your show because it always feels like a homecoming. I have met so many wonderful people at SMR shows. I know we only see each other once a year, but it definitely feels like we are all part of the SMR family. It is so nice to sit down to dinner, or share a dance with other vendors, the buyers, and the representatives. From a business standpoint it is definitely the perfect storm. There are countless vendors, buyers and representatives out there, and you have to wonder, what creates the relationship that drives the business, what makes my company memorable? The answer is simple, you do! Your show creates a setting that fosters the lasting impact of good feelings, familiar faces and hard work. It is a pleasure every year to attend. I can’t wait to see everyone in Orlando.

SMR has a great network of Sales Representative’s throughout the United States and the Caribbean that services both Independent and Corporate Grocery Accounts. Excellent Customer Service! Veteran Knowledgeable Sales force with great customer relationships. The SMR Show is Top Notch and attracts buyers from all over the United States and Caribbean.

Your staff is exceptional, friendly, professional and is able to answer any questions I have had. Hot Items are constantly changing and you always seem to be on top of it, and have them available when I call and am looking for them, and if you don’t – you and your team make it a point to “FIND THEM”. Any billing or shipping issues I have had with vendors have been resolved immediately as well.

The Fresh Grocer has had a very successful relationship with SMR for the past six years. They have provided us access to many profitable incremental sales items, which nicely complement out primary wholesaler. Service from SMR has consistently been timely, professional and complete.

SMR has been a great partner of Regent Products. The group has brought us hundreds of new customers in a market we thought we had covered. Their Sales people and office staff are a pleasure to work with and produce for you every day.

We have been a SMR customer for over 25 years. We utilize their vast GM and candy manufacturer base that they broker to help build incremental and seasonal sales in our chain. We have never missed one of their buying shows, and always find new and innovative items each year to help grow our sales, while continuing strong lines year over year. I can attest that my GM and Candy categories would not be as strong without their offerings, great customer relationship and care in making sure orders are processed, on time and at the correct negotiated cost. SMR, in my opinion, is a must for any chain looking to do more than the basics in these key categories.

My relationship with the SMR group has grown stronger and stronger over the past 20 years. Every year my sales have increased. And I have made some great partnerships along the way.

This year’s SMR show in Syracuse ended for us on a very high note and has built momentum for the Orlando show. Customers were engaged and ready to buy. SMR reps worked closely with us and helped build programs for customers rather than one-time sales.
