Applicants for exhibit space are required to execute and forward the contract to Ferraro Foods by 7/20/26. Any contract received after this date will not be guaranteed exhibit space. Show Allowances are required with booth space; allowance excel file must be returned by 8/1/26.
ASSIGNMENT FOR EXHIBIT SPACE
The assignment of the booth space will be determined by Ferraro Foods Management. However, when at all possible, suppliers represented by a broker will be grouped with that Broker. LATE BROKER CHANGES WILL BE ACCOMMODATED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Only 1 Vendor per Booth Contract will be allowed (additional vendors must buy a separate booth).
ALLOWANCES: 8/30/26 – 12/12/26
Product allowances are required for your participation in the Food Show and should be on stocked non-proprietary items. Allowances are purchase-based and apply to all 7 Ferraro Foods locations, including Delco Foods, during the promo period, 8/30/26 – 12/12/26 (All Ship Period), to support the event and/or no-show food show formats with the mutual goal to incentivize Division purchases, drive line-item penetration, and case growth. Allowance rates per case/per pound and total item count must be the same or greater as prior event participation. If an allowance form is not returned by 8/1/26, your last approved rates will be loaded. As a courtesy, Purchase-Allowance Files with prepopulated allowances based on best prior Food Show rates may be provided. It is incumbent for the Supplier to validate and confirm prior to the Event; if no response, these rates will be loaded prior to Event. Please be advised some Ferraro locations may use different Ferraro product numbers. Allowances will be linked to the manufacturer code where applicable when Division product numbers do not match.
INDIRECT SUPPLIERS
Secondary suppliers will be tracked by default for locations that source indirectly. At times, these may include but not limited to DOT, Honor Foods, G&C, Quaker Sugar Co. Please contact Jen Lenaghan (jlenaghan@ferrarofoods.com) directly for any exceptions to set up tracking prior to event.
ASSORTMENT / NEW DIVISION STOCKED ITEMS (LOCAL DIVISION)
The customer expectation is that all items presented will be available to order following an Event and/or Promo activity. Please plan accordingly and notify Corporate Merchandising to discuss Stocked New Item opportunities in all participating divisions. Any New Items presented and added to the division assortment must complete a New Item Stocking Agreement. To summarize, there will be a new slotting fee for any Manufacture branded products (private label excluded) added to the Division assortment in the amount of $500 per sku and $50.00 per month should the avg. weekly case volume not exceed (20) cases per week. A stocking report will be run at the end of each month to validate new stocked items and avg. weekly movement by Division and Ferraro Foods will deduct payment. New Stocked Item Fees will persist through 12/12/26 for all participating vendors. Any new items not included on the allowance file will default to $2.00 per case, unless otherwise noted.
PAYMENT
Send payment to 287 S. Randolphville Rd. Piscataway, NJ 08854. Payment must be made before date of show. Please be advised, if paying by check/credit memo/ach – must be received no later than 8/15/26 or a deduction will be made instead. Cancellations once contract is signed will not be honored. If vendor/broker does not show, an additional $2,000 “no show” fee will be charged.
