Convenience store chain 7-Eleven wants to offer its customers a taste of the finer things in life. Case in point: The franchise brand, a favorite stop for those who need a candy fix, will debut a proprietary line of chocolates this summer using Belgian chocolate, <a href="https://thetakeout.com/7-eleven-best-new-candy-belgian-chocolate-hi-chew-1841495391?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=this-summer-7-eleven-wants-to-sell-youfine-belgian-chocolate-2712231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">according to a report from The Takeout</a>.&nbsp;Andrew Lee, the senior category manager of center-store merchandising for 7-Eleven Inc., recently <a href="https://www.cspdailynews.com/snacks-candy/how-7-eleven-making-candy-consumer-destination?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=this-summer-7-eleven-wants-to-sell-youfine-belgian-chocolate-2712231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">granted an interview to the publication CSP Daily News</a>.

Because healthy confection is gaining popularity with customers, we continue to test new products and explore options that will cater to the customer’s needs.”The chocolate will have a “highly approachable price point,” Lee said.&nbsp;&nbsp;It seems a bit out of left field for 7-Eleven, but in this competitive age, who can blame a brand for trying something new?
