Convenience Retailer Creates New Slurpee® Flavor from its Popular Quake Performance Energy Drink
IRVING, TEXAS (Jan. 24, 2020) – Just months after making a splash with Quake, its private brand performance energy drink, 7‑Eleven, Inc. will boost its Slurpee® drink lineup with an exclusive, new flavor – Quake Energy Berry Blast.
Available at participating 7‑Eleven®, Stripes® and Aplus® stores while supplies last, the specially formulated, multi-berry-flavored Slurpee contains B vitamins and electrolytes and is energized with 69 mg of caffeine. A 12-ounce serving of the snow-white frozen beverage contains 1 gram of sugar.
“7‑Eleven’s recent private brand successes have crossed almost every beverage category from energy and sports drinks to cold-pressed juice, ready-to-drink tea and award-winning wine, said 7‑Eleven President and CEO Joe DePinto. “When Quake became an instant hit last summer, Slurpee lovers immediately recognized its potential as a Slurpee flavor. Our beverage team has taken that idea and created a great product our Slurpee fans will love.”
The energy drink category continues to grow with annual sales of $13.9 billion in 2019, with almost 75 percent of that being sold in convenience stores, according to industry statistics (IRI). Much of that growth is attributed to the increase in functional or performance energy drinks.
The 7‑Eleven private brand team benchmarks all its new food and beverage creations against the best national brands have to offer. The goal is to create a novel item using only the highest quality ingredients, with unique benefits and flavor combinations that aren’t available anywhere else.
In addition to Berry Blast, Quake energy drinks are available in: Original, Orange Fusion
and Tropical Lemon flavors.
