Exciting Partnerships & New Pork Products
at Convenience Stores Nationwide
NPB is excited to share 2 new marketing promotions resulting from the successful partnership and collaboration between NPB, pork producers and key players in the convenience store sector.
All-In on Pork Tamales
Laredo Taco Company, a division of 7-Eleven
Laredo Taco Company, a division of 7-Eleven, has fully embraced pork tamales, showcasing our delicious product as part of their offerings. The tamales are offered in convenient 12-count and 6-count packs at 511 stores across 10 states (TX, TN, MD, CT, VA, OK, CO, PA, OH, FL).
Additionally, window banners and signs will prominently display our blue Pork logo.
This offering is a direct result of NPB’s partnership with the convenience store. It’s worth noting that 7-Eleven has invested significantly in pork, purchasing over 4 million pounds of picnics and jowls for fresh production each year.
