With four products set to debut, the new retail line includes the Crispy ChickUn Fillet, Chickpea Burger, Smash Burger, and Breakfast Sausage. To add to the excitement, Odd Burger will be providing 7-Eleven with exclusive distribution rights for six months, giving consumers ample time to try out the new flavors.
