7-Eleven is celebrating its 95th birthday with the return of Slurpee Day on Monday, July 11, 2022. This year, you can get a free Slurpee at all Speedway and Stripes stores, too.
The free small Slurpee is available through the 7Rewards loyalty program on the 7-Eleven app.
For the past two years, the convenience store chain celebrated Slurpee Day all month long because of the pandemic to avoid large crowds flocking to their stores. This year, the deal runs July 1 - July 11.
"We're thrilled to be celebrating Slurpee Day for the first time across all of our banners, so we can spread the Slurpee drink birthday love even further," Marissa Jarratt, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at 7-Eleven, said in a prepared statement.
