7-Eleven promotes up-and-coming food and beverage companies.
In its fifth year, 7-Eleven’s firms with Heart display has picked dozens of up-and-coming food and beverage firms to participate.
The two-day program offers teaching, coaching, and mentorship sessions in addition to a chance to showcase products to the company’s merchandising staff. After the showcase, which took place Nov. 1-2 at the Irving, Texas, 7-Eleven Store Support Center, a number of brands will be chosen to take part in in-store tests at 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes convenience stores nationwide.
In addition to offering a wider range of snacks, drinks, and healthier options than the typical gas station assortment, 7-Eleven, Inc. stated that it is looking to elevate and collaborate with emerging businesses that “exhibit purpose-driven elements within their products and business.”
Executive vice president and chief marketing and sustainability officer of 7-Eleven Marissa Jarratt said, “We believe our role as a leading retailer goes beyond simply providing innovative products to our customers — it’s about making a lasting difference in the communities we serve.” We’re getting closer to our goal this year because, for the first time ever, every Brands with Heart participant exhibits a purpose-driven element. We are thrilled to have these exceptional companies join the 7-Eleven family.”
Brands with Heart participants represent a range of product concepts, from functional beverages and protein bars to sustainable seafood snacks and zero-proof drinks. Companies include Better Sour, gummy candy with globally inspired sour flavors; Deux, cookie dough formulated with functional ingredients; Fillo’s, ready-to-eat tamales; and Perfy, low-sugar soft drinks enhanced with adaptogens and nootropics.
“As 7-Eleven’s director of private and emerging Brands, we’re proud to be a platform for new and innovative brands to introduce their products to the world,” stated Adam Franks. These goods taste amazing, but they’re also accomplishing amazing things. We eagerly anticipate our clients’ first glimpse of them on national stores.”
