Convenience store chain 7-Eleven has announced it will partner with Minibar Delivery to test a new beer and wine delivery service. The new pilot program will deliver drinks and snacks to customers in Florida, Texas, and Virginia. The pilot program has an expected 600 stores that will participate.
The pilot program will offer convenient delivery between 30 and 60 minutes from when an order has been placed. On top of alcoholic beverages, the service will deliver a selection of items sold by 7-Eleven - such as Slurpees, pizzas, and chips.
Orders can be placed via the Minibar Delivery app, at a local 7-Eleven, or on the Minibar Delivery website. Customers over 21 are welcomed to use the service.
