Snack maker Kellanova is offering its new Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers and Pringles flavors first-to-market in convenience stores at participating Pilot and Flying J travel centers nationwide.

  • Pilot Co. is No. 15 on CSP’s 2024 Top 202 ranking of U.S. convenience-store chains by store count.

Pop-Tarts Crunchy Poppers, the brand’s first crunchy offering, is available in frosted strawberry crunch and frosted brownie crunch at the travel centers until mid-November. The crunchy snack features a “tasty filling and a layer of frosting and sprinkles with every bite,” Kellanova said.

The snack brand said the latest Pringles potato crisps flavors are now available at Pilot and Flying J travel centers, while supplies last. Kellanova, Chicago, said Pringles Sweet Chili Sauce is a blend of sweetness and spice and Pringles Bourbon BBQ is a salty bite with a sweetness and savory oak flavor. 

During the month of October, Pilot is offering daily buy one, get one (BOGO) deals on a variety of drinks and snacks through the convenience-store chain's myRewards Plus app. The offer is part of the Knoxville, Tennessee-based retailer’s new ad campaign, “See You Out Here.”
