SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Texas Restaurant Association (TRA) and HERITAGE, one of the industry's largest general service contractors and a nationwide leader in full-service event production, today announced a new partnership naming HERITAGE the official general service contractor of the Texas Restaurant Show, beginning with the 2027 Show at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio.

The partnership combines HERITAGE, one of the fastest growing contractors in the industry, with the Texas Restaurant Show (TRS), of the 50 fastest growing events in the country. The 2025 TRA Show welcomed more than 6,400 restaurant professionals and 450 exhibitors, a 20 percent increase in attendance year over year, and the Association has committed the Show and the Texas Restaurant Awards to San Antonio through 2028. The 2027 Show carries added significance as the Association and the Show celebrate their 90th anniversary.

HERITAGE will deliver its complete portfolio of exposition and event solutions for the Show, including experiential design, floor plan development and layout services, graphic and print production, carpet and furnishings, logistics management, technology integration, and comprehensive on-site operations. The Show will be served by HERITAGE's South-Central Regional Office in San Antonio, positioned to support the Henry B. González Convention Center with unmatched local warehouse capacity and rapid-deployment capabilities.

"Our client partnerships span nearly every sector of the economy, and the Texas Restaurant Show is a standout addition," said Ryan Yemm, President of HERITAGE. "Dedicated teams and long-term partnerships are how we work, and a Show celebrating 90 years in 2027 is the right place to begin one. With our South-Central Regional Office in San Antonio supporting the Henry B. González Convention Center, we can bring our H Hour service commitment, transparent pricing, and operational excellence directly to the Association, its exhibitors, its members and all stakeholders."

"For 90 years, the Texas Restaurant Show has brought our industry together to discover what's possible and shape what comes next. The experience we create for every exhibitor and attendee is part of that legacy. HERITAGE brings the local expertise and shared commitment to help make the 2027 Show worthy of our history and ambitious about our future," said Tony Abruscato, chief marketing officer of the Texas Restaurant Association.

Planning for the 2027 Texas Restaurant Show is well underway, with exhibitor services, logistics and concept design transitioning to HERITAGE ahead of the July 2027 event.
