7-Eleven releases its newest hot food item

For a limited time, vegetarian customers can look forward to trying a new offering at their local 7-Eleven store. At participating stores, the new black bean burger is now available.

Made with black beans, corn, rice and savory seasonings, the black bean burger is topped with American cheese and served on a brioche bun. 7-Eleven says its take on the popular vegetarian dish is perfect for customers who are looking for a meat alternative during the Lenten season, or just want access to more meatless options without sacrificing taste or convenience. The new item release follows 7-Eleven’s new partnership with Shipt.

“At 7-Eleven, we keep a watchful eye on the shifting preferences of our customers and are constantly adapting our offerings for them," said Anjuli Wilkie, 7-Eleven senior category manager of hot foods. "We frequently receive requests for more vegetarian options from our loyal customers, and because our hot sandwiches are so popular, the addition of a Black Bean Burger was the perfect fit. Whether customers are looking to add more meatless protein to their diets or want to enjoy something other than fish on Fridays this spring, 7-Eleven has an option for them."

7-Eleven is offering two hot sandwiches for just $5 in-store—including cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, and the new limited-time-only black bean burger.

Through April 12, 7Rewards members can pick up the new menu item for just $2 on Fridays at participating 7-Eleven locations. The award-winning 7Rewards loyalty program is found in the 7-Eleven app and offers customers exclusive deals and discounts on their favorite products.
