7-Eleven, Inc.

With its latest Evolution Store concept in Dallas, the retailer added a drive-thru for its Laredo Taco Company restaurant where Slurpees can be ordered, and store brand items could be added in the future.

The prepared foods service, acquired by Nestlé last year, has hired Anna Fabrega to be its chief commercialization officer; she helped lead the Amazon Kitchen own brand.

Imported from Italy and created exclusively for 7-Eleven, the chain has introduced Serafina, a mineral water brand that joins its recent Icelandic water Skýra.
