Don't let our foggy weather hold you back - July 11 means a free 7.11 ounce Slurpee drink. The free 7.11 ounce Slurpee promotion runs from 12 a.m. July 11 to 12 a.m. July 12, or while supplies last. Many stores that are participating in the promotion do run out of cups early in the day with each store running out a different time during the day, depending on the demand at their location. Each store gets two cases of the special 7.11 ounce sized cups and several 7-Eleven clerks estimated a case holds 500 cups.
Slurpee-brations" and 7-Eleven birthday parties will be held at select stores with music, entertainment, prizes and food sampling, and Slurpee-mobiles will provide free samples at select 7-Eleven stores across the country.
"7-Eleven Day and giving away free Slurpee beverages is our way of thanking customers for their patronage throughout the year and showing appreciation for their support," said Jesus Delgado-Jenkins, 7-Eleven's senior vice president of merchandising, marketing and logistics.
"Five million is the most Slurpee drinks we've ever given away in a day; just two years ago, we handed out 3 million," he added. "7-Eleven Day is synonymous with free Slurpee day, because of how popular the Slurpee giveaway has become. We've been serving free Slurpees on July 11 since our 75th birthday in 2002, and it continues to be a hit with customers. People start asking about it in the Spring. Even without the 5 million free Slurpee drinks, July is the biggest month of the year for Slurpee sales. What better drink for the hottest month of the year."
It's not hot in San Francisco but what's a little fog to a determined Surplee lover? Free is free is free (as Gertrude Stein might have said). While we are on the subject of Gertrude Stein, don't forget the two shows at the Contemporary Jewish Museum and SFMOMA - this summer in San Francisco, it's all about the Stein's.
