7-Eleven Giving Away Free Slurpees On Tuesday

PITTSBURGH, PA - Astute observers of the calendar probably already are aware of this, but July 11 is significant to a certain convenience store chain. The folks at 7-Eleven are celebrating 7-11 Day by giving customers a free small Slurpee.

To claim your Slurpee, just stop in to a 7-Eleven between the hours of, you guessed it, 11 a.m and 7 p.m.

If you think the Slurpee fun ends at 7 p.m., you're wrong. July 12 kicks off Slurpee Week, where participants who buy seven Slurpees through 7-Eleven's app will receive 11 coupons for free Slurpees. Slurpee Week
ends July 18.

"7-Eleven Day is a celebration, not only of our birthday, but more importantly, of our customers," Laura Gordon,7-Eleven's marketing vice president, said in a statement. "Ninety years is a big birthday, and our customers are the ones who got us here."

7-Eleven has offered free Slurpees on July 11 since 2002, when the chain marked its 75th birthday.

7-Eleven is also introducing a new, limited-edition Cotton Candy Slurpee. drink form. Slurpees come in a variety of other flavors including Pepsi, Lemonade and Wild Cherry.
