GPM Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of ARKO Corp., is adding a fried chicken filet sandwich to its existing value menu at 150 stores.
The value menu initially launched last summer to offer customers convenient, affordable and quality foods during difficult economic times. It began with just one menu item — two for $1 hot dogs — and after selling over 1 million hot dogs, has evolved and expanded to over 450 stores.
Varied by location, current menu offerings include hot dogs, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, fried chicken drumsticks and now a fried chicken filet sandwich. The value menu also allows customers to mix and match select items for the value of two for $3, five for $6 or 10 for $10.
“We’re always looking for new ways to meet the needs of our customers,” said Ray Zeiher, senior category manager of food service. “Our newly introduced value menu offers quality foods that are at a great price and on trend, so grabbing a bite to eat on the go is quick and easy. We’re looking forward to this new chicken sandwich offering and continuing to grow and evolve our value menu.”
