This year’s IDDBA might have been the best one yet!

Here are just a few highlights:

Our own Kelly Sayko was recognized as an Emerging Champion in 2026’s Champions of Change program, and she received her award alongside other dedicated professionals at a ceremony on Monday night. Congrats, Kelly!

We also celebrated Marjorie Proctor with a surprise dinner to mark her 25th anniversary as a part of the Hillphoenix team. We enjoyed great food and even better company as we reflected on the incredible impact Marjorie has had.

We learned from so many knowledgeable speakers. Anne-Marie Roerink from 210 Analytics shared how deli prepared foods are becoming the MVP of food retail. Coach K shared the values that helped shape his success. We heard so many great perspectives at the What’s in Store Live Education Stage. And of course, Alton Brown and Trevor Noah made us laugh.

Our What’s In Store Live Booth was buzzing with the energy of so many passionate professionals looking to learn, share, connect and get inspired by the creative merchandising featured in our Hillphoenix cases. We’re so grateful to IDDBA for continuing to partner with us for this incredible immersive experience, and we can’t wait for next year’s show in Atlanta, GA!

Our team had a great time connecting with our partners, meeting new people, getting insights from industry leaders, and sharing our refrigeration and merchandising expertise. We hope you did too!

As the Marketing Manager at Hillphoenix, Kelly Sayko demonstrates a passion for food retail innovation that’s contagious.

It’s no wonder she was named an Emerging Champion in 2026’s Champion of Change list by IDDBA and Supermarket News.

“A significant portion of my time has been dedicated to bridging the gap between shopper desires and retail offerings,” Kelly explains. “By partnering and participating with fresh and frozen food boards, as well as leading analytical firms, I've had the opportunity to learn more about consumer behavior, preferences and emerging trends. This foundational understanding has been instrumental in crafting strategic merchandising initiatives for our grocer partners.”

We couldn’t agree more. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, Kelly!

Join her and the entire 2026 class of Champions of Change at IDDBA What’s In Store Live booth 2170 on Monday, June 8, for the awards ceremony. While you’re there, explore the fully merchandised Hillphoenix display cases.

How do you transform an empty convention floor into a 9,000-square-foot merchandising masterclass at IDDBA?

For Hillphoenix it starts 9 months before the show, designing floor plans and technical layouts hand-in-hand with the IDDBA team. Our crew hits the ground running 2.5 days before the merchandisers arrive (only 4 days before the show opens) and create masterpieces inside our display cases!

This year, we are bringing 29 advanced, fully functioning hot, cold, and frozen display cases to life. We don’t just supply equipment...we orchestrate environments!

See the final build and interact with the Hillphoenix team:

Food-at-home price inflation could surpass 4%, according to the latest report from FMI- The Food Industry Association. This has big implications for food retailers looking to stay ahead of rapidly shifting market conditions.

Supermarket Perimeter shared that the Consumer Price Index for food-at-home grew sharply in April, rising 0.7% month-to-month and 2.9% year-over-year. Rising inflation and tightening consumer budgets earlier in the year led to more shoppers cooking meals at home and fewer turning to restaurants, but as prices continue to soar, competition is fierce for food retailers.

Merchandising is a key strategy for enhancing the shopper experience to build loyalty, boost basket ring and grow share-of-stomach. The merchandising experts at Hillphoenix have you covered with ideas that appeal to budget-conscious shoppers looking for a simple, accessible alternative to costly restaurant meals.

“My journey in the food industry has been far more than just a career; it's a lifelong dedication and unwavering passion to enhance how we experience food,” Kelly shares.

Champions of Change is an award that celebrates emerging and established leaders in the retail bakery, deli, foodservice and dairy sectors. With a long history of excellence in the industry, Kelly truly fits the bill as a leader, mentor and expert.

“Receiving this recognition from my amazingly talented and passionate colleagues and the food community that I am surrounded by fills me with gratitude and humility. It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity to work, participate and be acknowledged by a group of professionals whose talent, dedication and passion consistently inspire me,” Kelly says about being recognized as an Emerging Champion.

Retailers, are you wondering what the benefits of coming to see us at IDDBA may be?

The perimeter of the store...specifically the dairy, deli, and bakery departments, have become the primary battlefield for customer loyalty in 2026. Today’s shoppers are looking for more than just a grocery run...they want time-saving solutions, health-conscious options, and an element of "small scale luxury" to balance rising costs. Winning on this battlefield requires a flawless integration of merchandising ingenuity and high-performance equipment.

That is exactly why Hillphoenix anchors IDDBA’s "What’s In Store Live." We build an experiential
environment where food retailers can see exactly how trending refrigerated, frozen, and hot
equipment can turn abstract consumer behaviors into highly profitable reality.

Equip your stores to win the perimeter. Visit us in Orlando:

Why we love the IDDBA show so much! Great partnerships aren’t built overnight—they evolve. While Hillphoenix officially joined IDDBA's What’s In Store Live in 2009, our roots run nearly two decades deeper through our acquisition of Barker Company. We realized we inherited something truly exceptional.

We’ve invested in this partnership ever since because What’s In Store Live isn’t just a booth...it’s the premier immersive experience for the future of food retail. It's where retailers get to see endless possibilities and inspiration!
