Pennsylvania Foodservice Expo (PFSE) is the only event in Pennsylvania to bring together all sectors of the restaurant, foodservice, lodging and hospitality industry under one roof.
The latest products, services, and technologies will be showcased along with a comprehensive and leading-edge education program. With 77,500 Hospitality Professionals and 3,700 restaurants in Philly alone, and the potential to reach surrounding markets such as Atlantic City, Newark, and Trenton, the Expo will be the event to provide operators the best tools to grow and improve their business.
The show is developed with the key support of the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association (PRLA). “We are very excited to bring back the foodservice and lodging tradeshow for the Pennsylvania hospitality industry. By partnering with ExpoDevCo we can utilize their already existing foodservice show network and expand on that to bring our statewide industry together for an all-inclusive annual event,” stated John Longstreet, President & CEO of the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association.
