Authentic 7-Select™ Tteokbokki Snacks, Yogurt Jelly Gummies, HBAF Honey Butter Popcorn, straight from Korean supplier, plus Buldak® sauced chicken
September 22, Surrey, B.C. – 7-Eleven Canada is bringing the brand’s top-selling snack foods from Korean 7-Eleven® locations to Canadian stores this fall. This is the first time the Canadian business is importing a snack selection from one of its international markets to meet customer demand for international flavours.
Canadians will be able to find 7-Select™ Tteokbokki Snack, Yogurt Jelly Gummies and HBAF Honey Butter Popcorn sourced directly from Korea. They are 7-Eleven Korea’s highest performers, including the top-selling Honey Butter Popcorn, which sold 600K units within the 50 days of its launch in 2021. Buldak sauced chicken wings and strips are also debuting as part of the Korean flavours launch.
The Korean snack program follows the massive success of 7-Eleven Canada’s Japanese-style egg salad sandwich. Launched in February, 7-Eleven Canada’s version of the world-famous sando quickly became the best-selling sandwich. Its popularity has reinforced the company’s commitment to bringing more international foods and products to Canada. Earlier this year,
7-Eleven Canada’s Matcha became a fan-favourite in store and on social media, demonstrating Canadian demand for more international flavours and Asian-inspired cuisine.
“Bringing these Korean snacks, and other international offerings, to Canadian food lovers is exciting, and we intend to bring more of the most celebrated foods from our global stores,” said Marc Goodman, Vice President and General Manager of 7-Eleven Canada. “We’re passionate about meeting customers’ cravings at an affordable price, and this program achieves that while bringing highly coveted products to Canadians straight from the source.”

- Buldak sauced chicken - $1 per wing or 3 strips & 3 wedges - $5

In recent years, Korean culture is increasingly a part of the pop culture landscape in Canada. Music, television, skincare, beauty and culinary offerings all see heavy Korean influence, while Korea-grown talent and brands see huge popularity in Canada. From k-pop to coffee shops and photo booth studios, Canadians are embracing authentic Korean experiences.
