Free Slurpee Day Canceled Due To Coronavirus Pandemic

PENNSYLVANIA — There will be no free Slurpees this July 11.

The convenience store 7-Eleven has canceled its annual Slurpee giveaway due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company will instead donate one million meals to Feeding America, a domestic hunger-relief organization.

“At 7-Eleven, our top priority is the safety of customers, Franchisees and employees,” said 7-Eleven Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Marissa Jarratt. “Gathering nine million of our closest friends in stores on one day just didn’t feel right, but I am heartened that we now have the opportunity to help the communities and neighborhoods that have been the lifeline of our business since 1927.”

Rewards app members can still get a free Slurpee coupon. The personalized offer is redeemable the entire month of July. Learn more about the app here.
