University of 7-Eleven® Traveling Food Show Comes to Town, Cuban-Style Ham Sandwich with Mojo Marinade … Guava & Cheese Fiesta Squares … Asian Rollers … Energy Slurpee® Drinks

Orlando, FL, March 5, 2008 - Hundreds of eager “students” will converge on the Orange County Convention Center when the University of 7-Eleven® (USE) brings its traveling food and beverage show to town Wednesday, March 5. 7-Eleven® franchisees, store operators and field staff from throughout the Sunshine State will attend the Orlando USE, the second of eight events planned across the United States and Canada.

Besides brand new items like Asian Rollers and iced coffee, new twists on national mainstays like Big Bite® hot dogs, Go-Go Taquitos® and Slurpee® beverages, USE attendees will sample some local flavor, as area chefs and bakers have created specialties to appeal specifically to Florida taste buds. At the Orlando show, that means fresh-baked pastries with guava and pineapple, tropical fruit cups and new versions of its popular grilled Cuban sandwiches.

Regional fresh foods and baked goods are as diverse as the customers of 7-Eleven. At the Ontario, Calif., event in February, visitors sampled items that appeal to regional preferences, like grilled Slim Jim Sizzle Sticks, Chicken Pesto Croissants and Burger Sliders. Upcoming USEs are creating regional specialties, including cheesecake donuts and hot entrees at the Northeast event in Atlantic City; hot soups and maple coffee rolls will be served at the Great Lakes conference in Schaumberg, Ill.; blackberry Danish and Tillamook jerky in Portland, Ore.; and steak & egg burritos and carnitas pitas for the show in Denver.

“Fresh foods are one of the fastest-growing areas of our business,” said Dennis Phelps, 7-Eleven vice president of fresh foods. “And with more than half of our customers buying a drink, beverages will always be big at 7-Eleven. The challenge is to continually push the bar and come up with new and different varieties that keep our selection fresh. We have developed the infrastructure to deliver fresh foods and baked goods to our stores every single day, and we’ve challenged our local fresh food and bakery suppliers to supplement our national menu by creating items that match local preferences.”
