Fresh-Baked Convenience Store Pastries

7-Eleven Unveiled a New Fresh-Baked Goods Menu

— August 7, 2020 — Lifestyle
The new 7-Eleven fresh-baked goods menu has been announced by the brand as a range of pastry options for patrons who are seeking out a convenient yet flavorful way to satisfy their cravings for bakery products. The baked goods menu is being rolled out on a national basis and comes backed by a guarantee that the products were never frozen before being prepared. The product will be available in select markets where ovens can be accommodated for in-store baking before being rolled out to new locations in the future.

The 7-Eleven fresh-baked goods menu comes as the first national convenience store brand to offer these kinds of products, which aim to satisfy consumer preference for artisan-inspired goods. The menu includes the Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, Chocolate Croissants, Halloween Cut Out Cookies, Chocolate Bretzels and Salted Caramel Cookies.
