BBI was a proud sponsor of the 2022 Atlantic Coast Exposition, where former BBI Associate Waine Ratliff received the Lifetime Achievement Award for all his contributions to the vending, office coffee, and food service industry.

The 2022 ACE Show took place on October 13 - 15, 2022, at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The two-day event congregated operators and suppliers from across the US to participate in educational sessions, offering opportunities to develop a network of industry resources while learning about the latest products and equipment innovations.

BBI is proud to announce our recently retired Unattended Retail Account Executive - Waine Ratliff, received the 2022 ACE Lifetime Award to commemorate the impact of all his contributions to the vending, office coffee, and food service industries throughout his career. This award is granted annually only to one person and can be given to a retired or active association member by the ACE Committee. Waine was selected from 3 finalists, 2 retired and 1 active member.

Our BBI Unattended Retail team was well represented at the event, including Vice President Paul Van Vleck, General Manager Eric King, National Accounts Directors Mike Kelley, Dave Jorgensen, and our most seasoned Account Executives.
