InStore Group Is Headed to NACS 2026: Let’s Talk Q1 Resets and the 100 Days of Summer

Written by InStore Group | Aug 26, 2026, 11:43:07 PM

The InStore Group is headed to Las Vegas for the 2026 NACS Show, October 6–9, and this year you can find us on the show floor at Booth N3176.

We’re looking forward to connecting with convenience retailers, CPG brands, distributors and other retail teams from across the country. And while October may still feel a long way from summer, we know many teams attending NACS will already be thinking about something much closer: Q1 resets.

Because the work you execute in Q1 can have a major impact on whether your stores and brands are positioned to win during the 100 Days of Summer, one of the most important selling periods in the convenience channel.

 

The 100 Days of Summer Starts Long Before Summer

Summer success doesn’t begin when temperatures rise. It begins months earlier with planning, resets, product placement, displays, inventory and flawless store-level execution. That makes Q1 a critical window.

A great merchandising strategy only works if it makes it all the way to the shelf. Missed stores, incomplete resets, incorrect product placement and execution delays can create problems that carry straight into peak summer selling.

InStore Group helps retailers and brands close that gap with nationwide retail merchandising and installation services built around reliable execution, visibility and accountability.

Our field teams support programs including:

And with a 99.7% on-time execution rate, we have the track record to back it up.

Planning Your Q1 Resets? Let’s Talk at NACS.

If Q1 resets, new product launches, seasonal programs or installation projects are already showing up on your 2027 calendar, NACS is the perfect opportunity to start the conversation.

Come meet the InStore Group team at Booth N3176 and tell us what you’re planning.

We can talk through your upcoming programs, where execution has created challenges in the past, and how a national merchandising partner can help you get stores ready for the selling season ahead.

Our approach combines experienced field teams with real-time project visibility through InStore Reporter, including photo validation, project status and customizable reporting dashboards.

The goal is simple: help you know what’s happening in the field while it’s happening, so your team can spend less time chasing execution and more time driving the business forward.
