Top 10 Cool New Products Revealed

LAS VEGAS — NACS, the Association for Convenience & Fuel Retailing, released the Top 10 Cool New Products displayed at last week's NACS Show as chosen by more than 1,800 retailer attendees who visited the Cool New Products Preview Room.

Upon entering the room, retailers received a scanner that they used to scan any of the more than 290 products featured there. At the exit, attendees were given a printout with the name, company information and release date for each item they scanned.

The 2014 NACS Show saw a record-breaking 34,260 scans, an average of 19 product scans per visitor. Lancer Corp.'s Touchscreen Tower beverage dispenser, which combines a user-friendly touchscreen with state-of-the-art technology and elegant design in a small footprint, received the most scans.

The Touchscreen Tower is an interactive beverage tower with digital advertising capabilities and flavor shot automation that can serve carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks, flavored waters, teas, energy and sports drinks, NACS said. It is also ADA-compliant and offers an overall lower life cost through time-saving and reduced maintenance.

"The opportunity that the Cool New Products Preview Room allows for us to reach the c-store decision makers while they are engaged and ready to explore solutions is phenomenal," said Lancer's Alexis Smith. "We were so excited that the NACS attendees were as enthusiastic about our Touchscreen Tower as we are!"
