For two and a half days, the industry gathers to find knowledge, solutions and connections at The NATSO Show. Just like The NATSO Show, The NATSO Show Magazine is your source for improving your travel plaza business operations. Unlike The NATSO Show it is year-round.
McLane Kitchen Added at The NATSO Show
McLane is bringing a small portion of the McLane Kitchen to The NATSO Show! To prepare NATSO Show attendees for this great show addition, I sat down with McLane to prepare this Q and A on all the must-know McLane Kitchen questions.
Q: What is the McLane Kitchen?
A: McLane Kitchen is McLane’s foodservice solution that provides customized food and equipment programs designed to fit each retailer’s unique foodservice-at-retail objectives whether complex or turnkey. We leverage our relationship with 175 foodservice suppliers that over 1,800 SKUs to provide our customers with top-selling foodservice products.
Under the McLane Kitchen umbrella, McLane offers a comprehensive produce solution, Fresh Produce+, the first nationally-distributed produce solution for convenience stores. The Fresh Produce+ solution leverages industry leading cold chain capabilities to deliver a consistent fresh product mix to all customers, regardless of location. With easy-to-order shipments and customer-determined markup, Fresh Produce+ makes produce simple and profitable.

Recipes include Bahn Mi hot dogs, buffalo chicken grilled cheese and southwest chicken salad.
