7-Eleven rolls out ready-to-bake pizza, tenders, wings, and taquitos
7-Eleven has launched ready-to-bake hot food items like pizza, chicken tenders, wings, and taquitos, which can be refrigerated and prepared at home.
The convenience stores chain is offering options such as cheese or pepperoni pizza, chicken tenders, breaded boneless wings, buffalo and spicy bone-in wings, and Monterrey Jack chicken taquitos.
Robin Murphy – 7-Eleven Senior Director of Fresh Foods said: “Before the pandemic, customers were out and on-the-go, grabbing breakfast on the way to work, buying lunch while running errands or indulging in an after-school Slurpee treat.
“That has all changed and people are home and eating together as families. We can give them the convenience of picking up a couple of pizzas and wings to prepare when they are ready to enjoy them.”
