Walking into a 7-Eleven in the West may be a regular convenience store, where you can grab a couple of snacks, small emergency items, and other regular products one might need. If you ever find yourself in South Korea and see a Korean 7 Eleven, it is a must to stop by!

Does South Korea have 7-Eleven?

South Korea opened its first store in 1989 in Songpa-gu, Seoul. Now, the country has over 11,000 stores packed with Korean 7 Eleven food items and necessities for every local and traveler like you!

Korean 7 Eleven Stores: A Treasure Trove for Food Lovers

The Korea Seven Eleven stores are treasure troves waiting to be explored by anyone! One could spend hours exploring every 7 Eleven Korea food item waiting to be taken home, from the most outrageous flavors and items to cute necessities.

Everything you may ever need will surely be found there. Here are the must-haves and surprising items found in 7 Eleven South Korea!

Ramen / Ramyeon

Fire Box — Spicy Noodles Set

Many may already know how popular ramyeon is in Asia, either eaten as a comfort food or a quick meal. Unlike ramen in the West, with a limited variety of flavors, 7eleven Korea branches have an aisle dedicated explicitly to ramyeon with every flavor one would never believe existed.

Some flavors you can find are tteokbokki, cheese, kimchi, seafood, fried chicken, sriracha, and more! If you need a basic choice, there’s always shrimp, chicken, and beef!

Don’t you have a Korean convenience store near you? You can still eat sumptuous Korean ramyeon at home at The Daebak Company. Here are some of our available items:

Prepackaged Food

Hetbahn Chicken Mayo Rice 2packs

Many would think convenience stores would only carry snack items that can be considered a quick eat, but Seven Eleven in Korea is more than grab-and-go. They feature pre-cooked food like bento boxes, cold sandwiches, burgers, kimbap, and much more that you can easily warm up and eat. Most of the 7-Elevens in Korea also have tables, chairs, and microwaves for you to use!

Beverages

Of course, every convenience store has drinks, from your common sodas, water, and teas. But you can only find these in a 7-Eleven: drinks with Kakao characters, cherry blossoms for the spring, and even corn-flavored!

BTS Coffee

Beverages packaged with the cutest designs, in endless flavors, and inspired by seasons and characters — the personality in these adorable and delicious non alcoholic drinks simply cannot be beaten. They’re all satisfying in taste and aesthetics, so it’s a must to discover them all on your own.

Other Necessities

Many of us tend to find ourselves in emergencies — forgetting certain items and having small accidents. In many situations like these, one would have to travel back to their home or find a nearby store which could get a bit pricey. But don’t worry, Korea is filled with 7-Elevens, and they have it all from cosmetics, cute band-aids, umbrellas, collared shirts, tights, and emergency items.

Travel Accessories Storage Box

We could go on about the products to be found in these convenience stores, but that would be no fun when you could discover all of it on your own. Grab your map when browsing through Seoul’s late-night streets, and congratulations! You’ve found the hidden treasure of South Korea.
