UK wholesaler Bestway has promised a “record-breaking” event for its upcoming Retail Showcase, set to take place in just two weeks time.

UK wholesaler Bestway is counting down the days until its annual Retail Showcase event, promising to deliver on record-breaking success.

Taking place on Thursday 14 May at the Coventry Building Society Arena, this year’s event is set to see an “unprecedented number” of promotional deals for attending retailers, delivering on immediate margin gains and in-store impact.

The annual showcase is set to bring together more than 120 suppliers alongside the wholesaler’s retail team, offering independent retailers the chance to engage directly on category development, new product launches and in-store support.

The Bestway Retail Showcase 2026 also comes as excitement begins to ramp up for the summer months, particularly the Fifa World Cup. This is something Bestway is keen to capitalise on and has already announced the event’s central theme will be focused around the football tournament.

Retailers attenting this year’s showcase will also have access to an enhanced programme of exclusive, on-the-day deals which have been designed to support independent retailers to unlock greater profitability, drive footfall and stay competitive in an increasingly challenging market.

Dawood Pervez, managing director at Bestway Wholesale, said: “We know retailers need margin, not noise. This event delivers exactly that. Last year set the benchmark and this year, we’ve gone even further.

“Our message to retailers is that if you’re serious about staying competitive, you need to be in the room.  The deals, the suppliers, the opportunity on the day is real, immediate and not to be missed.”
