Cheyenne at CDA Marketplace 2025

Last week, the Cheyenne International team had the pleasure of traveling down to the Lone Star State of Texas to participate in the Convenience Distribution Marketplace at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center.  Serving as the vital link between the nation’s distributors and manufacturers, CDMarketplace is the only national conference and trade show exclusively for wholesale distributors of convenience products in the United States. This event provides an unmatched platform for networking, education, and building business in an environment solely dedicated to servicing our tobacco products.

CDMarketplace is a must-attend event for the Cheyenne team and each year, we’re reminded just how much weight face-to-face conversations carry within our industry. Marketplace facilitates interactions with key players in convenience and produces powerful discussions exploring collaborative opportunities. We loved catching up with longtime partners, meeting new faces, discussing what’s working in the tobacco category and how we can help distributors grow their business. It’s everyday conversations like these that help all players in the game maximize their bottom line and connections made at this show always extend beyond the transactional.

With show deals promoting our popular filtered cigars and deep discount cigarette options, the Cheyenne booth was buzzing with interest. It was great to hear feedback directly from the people who keep this industry moving. Beyond the expo floor, our team sat in on invaluable educational sessions with topics ranging from emerging trends in convenience to the evolving regulatory landscape, and ways to stay competitive in our always-changing market. These conversations provide us insights that are key as we continue to support our partners with the best tobacco products and implement programs that work for both supplier and distributor success.

Once again, our time at CDMarketplace 2025 was both productive and inspiring. We are eager to implement the insights gained and continue fostering the relationships established at the show. Cheyenne International remains committed to delivering exceptional products and services to our distributor partners in the convenience sector. We extend our gratitude to the organizers at Convenience Distribution Association for hosting such a well-run event and to all the attendees who visited our booth. We’re excited for what’s to come in the year ahead!
