TWOSOME
Sales in the K-Style Deli category rose 40% from a year earlier.
A Twosome Place is expanding its hot deli lineup with two new products that reflect the K-Deli style: the Hot Chicken Cheese Melt Panini and the Baked Croquette. As the culture of “snacking,” or having a light meal on the go, spreads in busy daily life, more consumers are looking for convenient yet satisfying “time-value” menu items. A Twosome Place has steadily expanded its panini lineup tailored to Korean tastes, and sales of the lineup have increased by about 40% from a year earlier, driving growth in the deli category.
Bread-based K-Style Panini lineup and sauce application
The Hot Chicken Cheese Melt Panini is a K-Style Panini reinterpreted with a Korean touch by using a bread base instead of the usual ciabatta or baguette. It is made with spicy cream sauce, chicken and cheese sandwiched between golden-baked slices of bread. The combination of spicy chicken and rich cheese makes it suitable both as a meal replacement and as a deli item to enjoy with coffee.
Eligible items for the All-Day Twosome Set and discount conditions
The Hot Chicken Cheese Melt Panini is eligible for the All-Day Twosome Set, which offers a 2,000 won discount when purchased with an Americano.
Baked Croquette lineup and cooking method
The Baked Croquette comes in two varieties: vegetable and chicken flavor. Styled after Korean croquettes with a soft dough filling, it is baked in the oven rather than fried, giving it a lighter texture. The Baked Vegetable Croquette combines vegetables and meat for a savory flavor, while the Baked Hot Chicken Croquette features spicy hot chicken for a mild kick.
Direction of deli lineup expansion
A Twosome Place said demand for deli menu items that are both convenient and filling continues to grow as more customers look for satisfying meals. Its signature panini products, along with Korean-style menu items introduced in 2026, have been well received, and the company said it will continue expanding its diverse deli lineup that can be enjoyed with coffee at reasonable prices.
