7-ELEVEN EDEN’S CROSSING NOW OPEN WITH SIX NEW TEAM MEMBERS

Experienced store manager Casey Reese is leading a team of 10, which includes six new employees, at the newly opened 7-Eleven Eden’s Crossing.

The new store is located at the corner of Mt Juillerat Drive and Sunbird Drive, with Eden’s Crossing locals dropping into their new neighbourhood store as soon as it opened. Ms Reece said the team are excited to be able to welcome new customers to the store.

“We had our first customer drop in less than four minutes after we opened the doors, and we were thrilled to meet the first of our new regular customers. It’s tricky time to be opening a new store, but the team and I are really pleased to be able to provide our locals with food, fuel and other essentials in their local neighbourhood,” Ms Reese said.

The store is one of the brand’s corporately operated stores, with a number of locals taking advantage of the new store to join the 7-Eleven team.

The new store will feature the products and services customers expect to see from 7-Eleven.

Customers will be able to shop and fill up the car 24/7, with a good range of everyday essentials available. There’s a large range of fresh food, coffee and treat options to choose from. From our classic hot pastries and handmade, delivered daily, sandwiches, to newer options such as salads and sushi range, there’s something for everyone. The new store will have 7-Eleven’s $1 freshly ground coffee, Slurpee including Slurpee Low Sugar options, and the popular Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

Eden’s Crossing locals can continue to take advantage of the 7-Eleven Fuel app. Drivers can lock in the cheapest fuel price locally available at the five closest local 7-Eleven stores, and redeem it anytime in the next seven days at any 7-Eleven fuel store. As a bonus the 7-Eleven Fuel app also has regular offers on the great range of products instore.

7-Eleven National Manager Corporate Stores Marc Costabile, said that in addition to the in-store offer, the 7-Eleven Fuel App is popular in Queensland.

“Motorists from Queensland have been great supporters of our 7-Eleven Fuel app. Since January 2017, Queensland drivers using the 7-Eleven Fuel App have saved an average of $5.36 per fill (average 15 cents per litre saving),” Mr Costabile said.

The Eden’s Crossing store will offer Mobil brand fuels including Supreme 98, Extra 95, Special E10, Special Unleaded 91 and Special Diesel.

PLANT BASED FOOD ON THE GO NOW AVAILABLE AT 7-ELEVEN AUSTRALIA

People looking for vegan friendly options or a delicious meat-free alternative can now drop into 7-Eleven Australia for plant based versions of traditional favourites.

7-Eleven No Chicken and Lettuce Sandwich ($5), 7-Eleven No Egg and Lettuce Sandwich ($5), 7-Eleven No Beef Pie ($4) and 7-Eleven No Sausage Roll ($4) are available nationally in all stores for customers seeking tasty, plant based food on the go.

According to Julie Laycock, 7-Eleven Australia General Manager Marketing, 7-Eleven’s food innovation team has worked hard to ensure the plant based options taste just like their meat based counterparts.

“We didn’t just want to have plant based options, we wanted to make sure they were tasty products in their own right. Our team developed these exclusive products with our suppliers, and we’ve done extensive testing with consumers to ensure the new products taste delicious,” Ms Laycock said.

“The convenience of being able to drop into one of our 700+ stores makes it even easier for people looking for vegan friendly and vegetarian food and those who want to mix plant based meals into their diet more often.”

While 7-Eleven Australia’s range of plant based options continues to grow, Ms Laycock says it’s about providing options for consumers.

“While our range includes our traditional meat and animal products, these new products provide more choices for more people. As Australia is one of the fastest growing plant based food markets in the world, it’s important to us that we continue to provide tasty, great value products for as many people as possible,” she said.

 Ms Laycock said the company is looking to add to the range of plant-based choices across its network.

“We’re continually looking at how we can provide more choice in our range. We’re trialling a soy milk option for coffee in a small number of stores in Victoria. We’ve converted our 7-Eleven Falafel Wrap to be vegan-friendly,  and we have a vegan friendly 7-Eleven Teriyaki Mushroom Onigiri in a number of our stores also. We encourage customers to try our plant based and vegan friendly products and share their thoughts with us on social media,” Ms Laycock concluded.
