October 2, 2026 | 3 min to read
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. — Greenridge Naturals, the family-owned brand specializing in all-natural meat sticks, sausages and deli meats, is excited to return to NACS (National Association of Convenience Stores) in Las Vegas this October for its fourth consecutive year.
As convenience retailers continue to expand grab-and-go natural protein offerings, Greenridge will showcase its growing portfolio of snack sticks and merchandising solutions designed for today’s convenience landscape.
Following the successful nationwide launch of its shelf-stable snack sticks at Target this summer, Greenridge will highlight the line’s versatility, including the classic long format and one-ounce snack sticks available in individual or bag formats, alongside multiple shipper displays designed for C-store, grocery and deli merchandising.
The shelf-stable sticks offer a convenient grab-and-go protein option with no refrigeration required, making them ideal for high-traffic retail environments.
Greenridge will also sample its popular one-ounce refrigerated snack sticks in three flavors, available in single-stick, caddy and bag formats.
Both the shelf-stable and refrigerated snack sticks are part of the brand’s larger natural portfolio of meat products free from added nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, artificial colors or flavorings. Select products are Gluten-Free, Keto and Whole30 certified, with zero-sugar and lower-sodium options across the brand’s offerings.
“We are excited to return to NACS following the successful debut of our shelf-stable snack sticks this summer,” said Mark Falconi, vice president of sales and strategy. “This year we’re bringing an expanded range of formats and merchandising solutions that give convenience retailers more ways to capitalize on the growing demand for natural and high-quality protein in convenient formats; we’re focused on making it easy for retailers to bring Greenridge to more consumers.”
Greenridge Naturals’ presence at NACS marks a continued dedication to innovation and excellence in the natural meats category as the company continues to expand with new products and into retailers throughout the country.
Greenridge Naturals will exhibit at Booth C3984 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, October 7–9, 2026.
