The Urban Eat Urban Street range has been launched by the brand in the UK as a limited-edition lineup of products perfect for consumers to try out this winter as a street food-inspired take on some classic lunch options.
The range includes the Thai Green Chicken Sandwich, Korean Chicken Wrap and the Chicken Shawarma Flatbread, which are each individually packaged and ready to enjoy anytime of day. The limited nature of the products responds to consumer interest in the exclusivity associated with food items that are only available for a short while.
Brand Manager Charlotte Assinder spoke on the Urban Eat Urban Street range saying, "Consumers are looking for food experiences that transport them out of the ordinary, and world cuisine with its far-flung flavours is just the ticket. The first three launches in our Urban Street range offer a selection of popular street food-inspired options, with the added excitement of a limited time only release."
