“At a time when new and innovative products can drive traffic and build category sales for retailers, the GMDC Showcase has become a vital tool for our members to connect with what’s next,” said Patrick Spear, president and CEO of GMDC. “The companies in the Showcase Top 10 drive innovation at every turn and boost demand through uniqueness and relevancy in the core categories of health, beauty and wellness.”

In addition to the Showcase Top 10, GMDC Board Chair Steve Davis of Weis Markets Inc. selected three products from the Showcase as his Board Chair’s Choice. The items Davis selected are those he believes will drive retail sales at their company, be among the top consumer choice at retail and have everyday use. They are:

  1. EverlyWell – Health Testing Kits (a winner from the GMDC HBW16 Retail Tomorrow Demo Day)
  2. Navajo Inc. – Handy Solutions
  3. Mad Gabs – Organic Body Care & Lip Balm

Following the conference, GMDC and its Showcase participants donated products featured at the event to the Sojourners Center of Phoenix. The Sojourners Center provides shelter and support services to women, children, men and pets that are affected by domestic violence and human trafficking.

The next GMDC conference, 2018 General Merchandise, will be held June 2018 in Orlando, Florida.
