Where you sit

East wing, tasting counter first

The Food zone sits on the east side of the hall at 17 Sweetmans Lane, Manalapan Township, NJ 07726. The tasting counter faces the corridor, so a buyer tastes your olive oil before they ever see a price list — the shelf unit behind it carries your full range.

Shelf-ready,
and ready to taste.

Five views of the Food zone — the tasting counter, the full-height shelf unit and the range at arm's length.

Who comes to see this

Grocery buyers taste, then talk volumes

Food is not bought from a spec sheet. Buyers taste at the counter, turn the jar over, and check whether your packaging survives a US shelf.

Grocery distributors & wholesalers

Distributors taste the range at the counter and review case sizes, shelf-ready packaging and pallet configurations with your rep.

Specialty & ethnic retailers

Retail buyers compare origins and grades side by side and check labelling and presentation at full shelf height.

Restaurant & foodservice buyers

Foodservice buyers sample in working quantities and take volume and private-label conversations to a meeting pod.

Your rep pours the tasting

A named US sales rep — business cards in your company name, a direct US phone line and email — runs tastings, answers origin, grade and packaging questions and follows every quote. Each month you receive a visitor report: who came, what they tasted, and where each quote stands.

No surprise duties

Your buyer sees the landed cost
before they ask.

Every QR product page carries its HTS classification and an estimated landed cost — duties, fees and freight to New Jersey in one view. Food imports also need FDA prior notice and the right import setup; we coordinate the setup and a licensed customs broker confirms final classification.

Questions

Before you
decide.

Do you guarantee sales?

No. What we promise is display, representation and reporting — your products presented in person, demos run, quotes followed up and a visitor report every month. Revenue depends on your product, pricing and market fit; nobody can honestly guarantee it.

Are the images on this page real?

No. They are preview images of the planned showroom. Final layout and booth allocation are confirmed with you on application — the images show the planned design, not the finished hall.

What is the status of permits and zoning?

The site sits in an industrial zone — confirmed. The specific exhibition use is still pending township review, and we will not bring your products in until approvals are in place. Ask us for the current status before you apply.

How do the monthly terms work?

A 6-month minimum, then month-to-month. You pay a monthly fee in USD for a display-use license under a service agreement — this is not a lease and creates no tenancy. When you leave, your products go home with you. Shipping, insurance and customs are arranged and priced separately.
