Free Slurpees Today At 7-Eleven
The convenience store chain offers customers a free 7.11-ounce frozen treat Monday to celebrate its 84th birthday, July 11. You'll have to head to nearby neighborhoods to get one, though.
7-Eleven staffers offer customers a free 7.11-ounce frozen Slurpee drink today to help celebrate the company's 84th birthday.
The free Slurpee offer is available until midnight at participating convenience stores while supplies last. As part of the "Slurpee-bration," some locations will offer in-store specials, music, entertainment, prizes and food samplings.
7-Eleven began offering free Slurpees on July 11 on its 75th birthday in 2002, and it's become a big hit with customers. In fact, one year the company gave out 5 million Slurpee drinks in one day.
