The Entertainment Food & Beverage Association (EF&B), originally founded as the National Association of Concessionaires in 1944, is a trade association serving the recreation and leisure-time food and beverage concessions sector. It represents both facility owners and operators—such as movie theaters, stadiums, convention centers, colleges, parks and amusement venues—as well as suppliers and service providers that support those operations. The organization delivers education, training, networking opportunities, and related services to help members address industry-specific challenges in concessions across a wide range of venues. Headquartered in Chaska, Minnesota, EF&B operates within the food and beverage services industry, positioning itself as a professional body for concession operations in entertainment and recreation settings. It supports a lean, specialized community of members with a focus on improving professional practices and knowledge. In April 2026, the association announced the online rollout of its Certified Concession Manager program, expanding access to certification through digital delivery.
