Free Slurpees at 7-Eleven This Thursday Will Be Bigger Than Ever

By Kirsten Petersen

Everyone’s favorite July holiday is just around the corner—no, it’s not the Fourth of July. It’s Free Slurpee Day.

Participating 7-Eleven stores will be serving up small Slurpees at no cost from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 11.

The small Slurpee is nearly twice the size of the traditional giveaway drink—in past years, 7-Eleven handed out free Slurpees in 7.11 ounce cups, according to USA Today.

Free Slurpee Day commemorates 7-Eleven’s unofficial birthday (the convenience store opened in 1927) and the 47th anniversary of the first Slurpee.

This year, 7-Eleven is encouraging customers to learn the Slurpee Dance and upload a video of their rendition on a social media site. Dancing at the store is not required to obtain a free Slurpee.

Be sure to call your local 7-Eleven to confirm it’s celebrating the holiday.
