Groceryshop, held September 26–October 1 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, continues to be one of the retail industry’s most anticipated events—bringing together innovators, retailers, and brands shaping the future of grocery and consumer goods. Once again, NOOK Event Pods made their mark on the show floor, helping attendees find comfort, focus, and connection amid the buzz of activity.
Powered by Partnerships
Our longtime partners at Freeman continue to be the driving force behind bringing NOOK Event Pods to Groceryshop each year. Their expertise and partnership make it possible for the pods to seamlessly integrate into the event’s bustling show floor—this time positioned near an activation stage and presentation area. https://www.freeman.com/
As attendees moved between sessions and demos, the pods offered a welcome change of pace: a space to rest, check messages, or have a quick conversation while still feeling part of the action. It’s a simple concept that continues to deliver big value.
Walmart’s Signature Activation
One of the event’s highlights came from Walmart, which once again featured NOOK Event Pods in its exclusive activation area. The Walmart team specifically ordered four pods through Sparks, Freeman’s sister organization, to serve as dedicated meeting spaces within their branded environment.
The pods helped create a polished, functional zone for conversations with partners and collaborators—showcasing just how easily NOOK fits into high-profile activations and sponsor spaces.
Designed for Busy Floors
With Groceryshop’s fast-paced schedule of presentations, product launches, and networking sessions, the need for comfortable, semi-private spaces is greater than ever. The NOOK Pods continue to fill that gap beautifully—providing acoustic comfort, flexibility, and a modern aesthetic that complements the show’s tech-forward atmosphere.
