Mount Franklin Foods made a pretty "sweet" statement at this year's Sweets & Snacks Expo! 🍬

Bringing together multiple product categories under one roof, the challenge was to showcase the company's broad capabilities while also shining a spotlight on rising fan favorites like BUBS and .

That’s a wrap for Middleby Corporation Brands@ at the 2026 National Restaurant Association Show! What an incredible event it was: The energy, huge crowds, meaningful conversations, and the collaboration among multiple industry-leading brands all under one roof. It’s always rewarding to see Middleby deliver another highly successful show experience. This exhibit design, build, and installation was a tremendous effort from our entire team and truly a labor of love from start to finish. Congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic event!

Although CONEXPO-CON/AGG has been in the books for a couple of months now, we’ve been looking back at some standout exhibits—and this one from Flexco is worth the spotlight.

Working with a large footprint and a lean budget, their team struck a smart balance between impact and efficiency. By letting key elements—a full semi truck, large-scale video displays, and engaging AV vignettes—do the heavy lifting, they created a space that was both visually compelling and highly focused on their product. Great example of how to deliver big results without overcomplicating the build!

We’re grateful for the continued partnership and proud to have been part of it.

Today we’re excited to spotlight John Romero, Shop Foreman here at Lakeshore. Step into his shop and one of the first things you’ll notice is a quote from Citizenship in a Republic—better known as “The Man in the Arena.” In it, Theodore Roosevelt reminds us that true credit belongs to those who take action, embrace risk, and strive for something meaningful. That mindset shows up in everything John does. He takes pride in building exhibits with efficiency and precision, all while creating a positive, fun atmosphere for his crew and the entire Lakeshore team. We’re lucky to have his talent, experience, and incredible attitude leading the way!

Accessories matter—and the Tourism Authority of Thailand : Belgium & Luxembourg proved it at the Chicago Travel & Adventure Show! This booth is a great reminder that you don’t need a massive budget to make a big impact. With a simple, well-planned exhibit as the foundation, it’s the thoughtful, on-brand accessories that truly bring the space to life and draw people in. A stunning 20' backdrop of sky and water set the scene, while a beach chair and sun umbrella added just the right touch of personality. The result? A space that felt inviting, memorable, and impossible to pass by. Sometimes, it’s the finishing details that make all the difference.
