The rollout runs from August through November and includes snacks sourced directly from Korea, along with Buldak sauced chicken wings and strips.
Among the products arriving at Canadian 7-Eleven stores are:
- Buldak sauced chicken: $1 per wing, or three strips with three wedges for $5
- 7-Select HBAF Honey Butter Popcorn: $4.99
- 7-Select Yogurt Jelly Gummies: $2.99
- 7-Select Tteokbokki Snack: $4.99
- 7-Select Egg Cookies: $2.99
- 7-Select Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies: $4.99
The Honey Butter Popcorn has already proved particularly popular in Korea. According to 7-Eleven Canada, 600,000 units were sold within 50 days of the product’s launch in 2021. The Tteokbokki Snack and Yogurt Jelly Gummies are also among 7-Eleven Korea’s strongest-performing products.
The Korean lineup follows the Canadian launch of 7-Eleven’s Japanese-style egg salad sandwich in February. Per the news release, it went on to become the chain’s best-selling sandwich. Matcha introduced earlier this year also gained popularity in stores and on social media.
Marc Goodman, Vice President and General Manager of 7-Eleven Canada, said the company plans to continue looking to its international stores for products Canadian customers may want to try.
“We intend to bring more of the most celebrated foods from our global stores,” Goodman said.
7-Eleven Canada operates more than 500 locations from Ontario to British Columbia.
