Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru®
at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions® stated “7-Elevens ability to drive customer relevance
leveraging the Price, Value, Fresh, and Service platform within a Limited Time
Offer (LTO) is a success clue all food retailers should take note of.”
7-Eleven new LTO at select Dallas-Fort
Worth area convenience stores includes three new slider-style sandwiches for
only 99 cents. The cheeseburger, pulled pork and smoked turkey sliders feature
artisan Hawaiian brioche rolls and are assembled and delivered daily from Village Baking Co., a local bakery.
Bob Frey, director of product development
at 7-Eleven stated "The new
7-Eleven sliders are craveable comfort food, great as a mini-meal, or hearty
snack and easy to grab and eat on the run," … "Customers can choose a
single slider or mix and match their favorites depending on how hungry they
are. All of our grab-n-go hot foods are developed with the needs of customers'
in mind — whether they're feeding a family or just themselves, picking up
something to take to a party or eating in the car."
Slider options
include:
·
Cheeseburger — An all-beef patty, sharp
cheddar cheese, fire-roasted onions and signature secret sauce.
·
Pulled Pork — Pulled pork slow-smoked
over mesquite wood, blended with American-favorite Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
and topped with sliced pickles.
·
Smoked Turkey — Turkey breast flavored
with a special blend of spices and slow-smoked over hickory wood, served with a
tangy jalapeño ranch sauce.
Free toppings, including tomatoes,
jalapeños and other items, are available for customization at the condiment
bar.
Frey continued, "People are busy and grabbing
a bite when they can to eat at their desk, in their car or when they have a moment
to spare," …"7-Eleven has long been a beverage and snack destination,
and two out of three of our customers also purchase something to eat along with
their drink. A slider, piece of pizza, mini-tacos, chicken wings or tenders can
be a hearty snack to tide you over or, with a salad or cut fruit, a quick and
easy meal. Sliders are a great addition to our hot foods menu and we think this
little sandwich will have a lot of big fans." How are you engaging new
