## Story

7-Eleven has announced a new snack item for its locations. According to a recent article in Nation's Restaurant News, the brand is offering potato tots and a diverse toppings bar for guests to enjoy. This addition will serve to increase the company's hot food item selection.

The toppings bar will vary based on location and will include up to ten options for customers to add to their snack. Toppings will range from chili sauce to melted cheese and pico de gallo. The brand seeks to encourage culinary creativity with the topping bar.

“Tots are hot. They’re served up on appetizer menus at trendy bars and restaurants. You can even find tots and topping bars at weddings. 7-Eleven has its own version of a tot bar for customers to create their own favorite tasty tot concoction," said Robin Murphy, the brand's director of fresh food.

The tots will be available for $1 to $2. In promotion of the launch, the brand will also offer loyalty members 400 loyalty bonus points for purchasing a sandwich with a side of the potato tots.
