‘Roaring Savings’ Hit Big This Year
The 2025 ‘Roaring Savings’ Lipari Food Show packed the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, MI on Wednesday, April 9th, a private, one-day selling show built for buyers. The floor delivered an astounding 10K visits, 1,200+ brands across 800+ booths, and 15,000+ items — all concentrated into real programs you can take from taste to set. It remains, in Lipari’s own words, “the last of the true selling shows.”
What Made 2025 a Hit
- Global flavor, aisle-ready. From bright acidity and layered heat to texture-first snacking, international finds weren’t just “interesting”, they were bundled into perimeter builds and show-day deals.
- Owned & exclusive depth. Retail-ready stories: planograms, and promos gave attendees fast paths to differentiation the minute they got home.
- Proof over promises. The show’s scale lets teams compare formats, price/pack, and space-to-sales in one sprint, then lock programs with confidence.
Impact Beyond The Floor
As the halls closed, Forgotten Harvest teams executed the largest food-show rescue of the year at the venue: recovering product from exhibitor booths and diverting it to hunger-relief across metro Detroit.
