Free Slurpees on Friday, July 11th

Not really local news but who can resist Free Slurpee Day! July 11th.

It’s that time of year when the sun is hot and the Slurpee® drinks are free-zing – emphasis on

the FREE part.  July 11, aka 7/11, is the day that 7-Eleven, Inc., the world’s premier convenience retailer, celebrates its birthday and says “thank you” to its customers with free Slurpee drinks at participating stores.  This year’s 7-Eleven® Day marks the company’s 81st birthday.  Customers can pour their favorite Slurpee flavor in colorful, 7.11-ounce “Birthday” cups throughout the day, while cup supplies last.

But there’s more… New for July is the first ever Monster Energy Slurpee drink, called Black Ice.  Black Ice is a black-colored energy Slurpee drink packed with a full load of Monster’s potent energy blend.  This is the first frozen Monster beverage and the first variety not sold in a can.

“In appreciation of our loyal customer base, we started giving away Slurpee drinks on our 75th birthday in 2002,” said Jay Wilkins, 7-Eleven brand manager for

Slurpee and Big Gulp® fountain drinks.  “Customers thanked us, and we’ve been doing it ever since.  Now July 11, or 7-Eleven Day, has become Customer Appreciation Day or try-your-favorite-Slurpee-on-us day.”
