GroceryShop 2026 runs September 22 to 24 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd. The grocery and CPG retail innovation conference brings 8,000 to 10,000 grocery chain executives, CPG brand managers, e-commerce grocery leaders, retail technology vendors, and food and beverage brand teams to the south end of the Las Vegas Strip for three days. Rock N' Potato is approximately 0.2 miles north of Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Blvd at Showcase Mall, Suite 207. Open until 11:30pm Tuesday through Thursday, which covers all three evenings of the conference.
People who spend their days evaluating product innovation, retail execution, and food and beverage trends tend to be curious diners when they find something worth eating nearby. Rock N' Potato is a rock-and-roll food court concept built around loaded baked potatoes and birria, and it is genuinely worth finding: counter service, no reservation, a 4.8 on Google and a 4.9 on TripAdvisor, and a kitchen that runs until 11:30pm every night GroceryShop is in session.
Getting from Mandalay Bay to Rock N' Potato
Mandalay Bay sits at the far south end of the Las Vegas Strip. Rock N' Potato is at Showcase Mall, 3785 S Las Vegas Blvd, which is approximately 0.2 miles north on Las Vegas Blvd. That is a short walk north along the Strip, or a two-minute rideshare if you would rather not walk after a full conference day. Take the escalator at Showcase Mall up to the second floor and follow the food court to Suite 207.
For a conference this close to the Strip's southern end, the proximity is genuinely useful. You do not need to build much time into the plan to get there and back. Badge out from Mandalay Bay, walk or rideshare 0.2 miles north, order at the counter, eat, and the evening is yours.
Food industry leaders and a food concept that earns its ratings
GroceryShop is a conference where the attendees are the food industry. Grocery chain executives, CPG brand teams, and private label buyers spend three days evaluating product quality, supply chain, and consumer trends. When that audience looks for dinner outside the convention center walls, they are not looking for something generic. They notice when a place is well-executed, and Rock N' Potato is well-executed.
The Birria King at $16.95 is the kind of menu item that holds up to scrutiny: slow-braised birria built into a full burger, with the kind of preparation time and technique behind it that you can taste in the result. The Fleetwood Mac at $20.95 is the loaded baked potato that defines the concept. The Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake at $8.95 is the dessert that earns the conversations it generates. A 4.8 on Google and a 4.9 on TripAdvisor from a counter service food court spot: those ratings are earned one order at a time.
What to order at GroceryShop 2026
These are the recommended orders for grocery and CPG professionals after a full day at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center:
Birria King $16.95
Slow-braised birria built into a full burger. This is the order that tells you what Rock N' Potato is: a concept that takes a preparation seriously and does it right. The birria is made the right way, which means it takes time, and the result shows it. If you are only ordering one thing, order this. Filling, flavorful, and the item most likely to bring you back for a second visit.
Fleetwood Mac $20.95
The signature loaded baked potato. Everything the Rock N' Potato menu is built around, in a single order. For food industry professionals evaluating what a concept does well, this is the item that answers the question. Generous, well-built, and unlike anything else in the same price range on the Strip.
Birria Tacos $10.95
The same slow-braised birria in taco form. A lighter option for a long conference week when you want to eat well without going too heavy. The birria tacos are the order for anyone who wants the flavor profile without the full burger build. Fast to arrive, easy to eat, and easy to remember.
Cheese Fries $8.95
Crispy fries, melted cheese. The table order that rounds out any meal and does it at a price that makes sense. For a group of conference attendees splitting a table, one Cheese Fries is the add-on that takes care of the side situation for everyone without a second thought.
Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake $8.95
Creamy cheesecake topped with Fruity Pebbles. The dessert order that people in the food industry tend to appreciate on two levels: it is a well-executed dessert, and it is a genuinely interesting product decision. Sweet, textured, and memorable. For a conference full of people who evaluate food products for a living, this is the dessert worth ordering and talking about.
