Free Slurpee

Convenience store executive #1: “I know, let’s have a day where we give away free Slurpees!”

Convenience store executive #2: “Great idea! But…what would be a good date for that? Christmas? Hanukkah? Halloween?”

Secretary: “Gee, how about doing it on…you know…7/11?”

And so was born 7-Eleven Day to celebrate the 82nd birthday of our favorite convenience store chain. All day on Saturday, 7/11/09, you can get a FREE Slurpee! Not only that, but they’ll come in special 7.11 oz. cups that will feature a Slurpee Nation Rewards code that you can use in the 7-Eleven Day instant win game. You might win something big, and everyone who enters immediately gets a code good for reduced-price Live Nation concert tickets. Cool beans!

Valid from midnight to 11:55pm on July 11 at participating 7-Eleven stores. With at least 20 7-Eleven stores throughout the metro Albuquerque and Rio Rancho areas, you’re sure to find one where you can get a free brain freeze.
