From Slurpee® to late night snacks, foodora brings convenience directly to Canadians' doors

TORONTO, Oct. 11, 2018 /CNW/ - foodora, one of Canada's top on-demand food delivery services, has joined forces with food and convenience store juggernaut 7-Eleven to bring a variety of items right to customers' doors. Beginning today, 48 select 7-Eleven locations across Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton are available for pick-up and delivery, using the foodora app and web platform. 

"If there's one thing we know for sure, it's that Canadians love the convenience of getting good food whenever and wherever they want it. We're excited to work with 7-Eleven, the king of convenience, to expand beyond good food, and offer our customers an easy way to get their everyday essentials, hot foods and snacks," said David Albert, Managing Director, foodora Canada. "foodora and 7-Eleven share one common goal, and that's making life easier for customers. We look forward to continuing to evolve and serving our customers' needs in new ways."

7-Eleven's diverse menu on the foodora platform will include everyday necessities such as milk and bread, as well as snacks and treats like chips, chocolate bars, ice cream and candy. Hot foods including pizza, taquitos and chicken wings can be ordered hot from the oven in minutes to serve those late night cravings. Most importantly, the store's iconic Slurpee® will be available for delivery, bringing the classic frozen beverage to consumers' doors with a few simple clicks.

"7-Eleven's commitment is to give our customers what they want, when and where they want it. Our focus is on making life easier for our customer. We were the first 24-hour convenience store, and we're proud to work with foodora to step into another new age of convenience," said Doug Rosencrans, General Manager and Vice President of 7-Eleven Canada. "As technology continues to change how customers shop, we're now able to deliver our most popular menu items and everyday necessities to Canadians using foodora's user-friendly platform, from morning to night."
